What you can do is to set up a random coefficients model where the
latent variables are loaded onto the constant and your time variables,
similar to section 3.2 of the 2001 version of -gllamm- manual:
gen one = 1
eq const : one
eq time : year
gllamm whatever, i(id) nrf(2) eqs(one year)
If you have say 10 or so time periods, I would model the time trend by
splines, although that would increase complexity of the factor part of
the model quite substantially.
