Next/previous links in a view based on contextual filter in the url

Question

I have a page view in a Drupal 7 view with contextual filters in the URL. something like /events/%1/%2 - the first parameter is the year, the second is a taxonomy term. So /events/2014/3 is all the events in 2014 in category 3.

I want to provide next and previous links based on the year (the first filter parameter). Is this even possible?

Not sure what your strengths are, but you could easily accomplish this with a custom php block. If you did something along the lines of

<?php
$previous = arg(2) - 1;
$next = arg(2) + 1;
?>
<a href="/events/<?php print $previous . '/' . arg(3)?>/">Previous</a> 
<a href="/events/<?php print $next . '/' . arg(3)?>/">Next</a> 

I would clean up that code and use the l() function to create a link, but that is the general concept.
