a. ‘the linking of sentences such that they constitute a narrative’

Being unfamiliar with a ‘such that‘ clause after a noun phrase, I'm familiar with a ’such that‘ clause used predicatively, as in e.g. My grief was such that I wanted to go somewhere where I didn't know anybody at all... The popularity of the song was such that it was repeatedly played at the festival venue... The quality of the reprints was such that the photos appeared to have lost nothing due to the passage of time. Could I say that in [a] the linking of sentences is post-modified by a ’such that‘ clause?
