The only thing I've seen in DramaticaPro that resembles Storylines is their Plot Progression area. It resembles Storlines in some ways, but it works nothing like that. There is a tool called Writer's Blocks that is designed to work like Storylines, but it is an old 16-bit Windows application that has never been updated, making it really klugy to use. Presently, I know of nothing that is exactly like Storylines, except using index cards manually, and even that is much slower and believe-it-or-not more complicated than using Storylines. If I keep talking, I'll end up buying their product instead of waiting for the WriteItNow upgrade. Rob told me that will only be 3 months from now. I will try and be patient. Incidentally, WriteItNow has many features not found in Writer's Cafe and Storylines, but the same is true in reverse. It all depends on what features we need as individuals to organize the chaos in our writer's brains.
