Not really. But if you understand the basics of how OTS works, it's fairly easy to figure out how to do that with the `ots info` command. Basically, it just prints out the raw commitment operations the timestamp proof performs, letting you follow along.

Note that OTS proofs do not have any notion of a transaction in them. Rather, they perform commitment operations that end up at a merkle root of a Bitcoin block (at least in the 99.9999% of proofs that use Bitcoin). With the `--no-bitcoin` option, the OTS client will tell you what block # to look for, and what the merkle should be for the proof to be valid.
