Navigating several cue points using two triggers in Storyline 360

I've got a 1-minute video with 15 cue points on a slide, plus a forward and backward button. I wanted the buttons to navigate each cue point when it is pressed, at the same tim pausing the video until the buttons are pressed again.  I've searched the web for any related tutorial or information about this, though I can't seem to find one. Is this even possible right now?

    There is a trigger where you can jump to a specific time / cue point. But unfortunately it doesn't allow to jump to the previous cue point. The trigger only allows to jump to a specific cue point.

    So i think you need to become a bit creative. You have multiple options:

    - Create a button for every cue point;

    - Use javascript to determine the previous and next cue point, based on the position in the timeline

    - Create a variable that changes each time you pass a cue point (for example a number which increase with each cue point it passed) and than use the variable to determine which cue point is the previous and next.

    Thank you so much! First one isn't ideal for my project, though will definitely look into the second and third suggestion.
