Unlike any other unit type, it makes sense for a timer to start another timer. It is an easy way to crate logical "and" between time conditions for instance, every day but no less than 5' after boot can easily be implemented by a OnBootSec triggering an OnCalendar. This is particulary usefull with Persistant timers which tend to all fire together at startup
