Chaining another cue to a hotkey cue

Is it possible (latest version 10.8.3) to chain a secondary cue to one that is operated by a hotkey?

We have a champagne cork popping effect and a secondary sound of the cork rebounding round the room. I wanted to hotkey the cork popping to (say) "P" and then have the ricochet effect after it. I can do it if I sequence it by setting the ricochet to start after the cork popping, but if I trigger the cork popping with a hotkey then the ricochet never happens.

Thanks

Do the pop as a main cue and put a subcue with a delay for the ricochet
Just tried it on 10.8.2 and it works so it should be OK on 10.8.3

I know that it will work as a main cue, that wasn't the issue, I wanted to use it as a hotkey. I can get the pop as a hotkey, but as far as I can see I can't add a subcue to a hotkey cue.

Just set up the pop as a normal hotkey triggered audio file
Then in editor select the cue, select subcue, click on 'Add audio file sub cue'
enter the audio file you want to play for the rebound and put a value in the subcue relative start time box

It does work, I've done it!!
