Dimension-based sub-labels for an axis?

I'm trying to put additional labels (based on a dimension) on a time-based axis, but it keeps replicating the time-based axis across all the dimensions (when I want it to just overlay the dimension based on when they appear in time. Ideally, I would also be able to map background colors (or at least vertical lines separating) to visually separate the dimensions.

Is this possible to do within Tableau currently?

Adding (only) horizontal scroll bar to extend visualization?

I have a line chart over time that shows relative positions between 6 different lines. However, the data is very granular, and the current worksheet window compresses the graph too much. Is it possible to add only a horizontal scroll bar so that I can extend the X-axis about 5-10x the size of the current worksheet window to be able to see the differences amongst the lines without them being squished together?
