I don't think that's the exact one I was remembering, but it mentions the same idea of keeping them in a bowl or cup to restrict movement.
I think I remember reading through a thread that mentioned putting the chick with yolk sack in a small bowl inside the incubator. I'm going to see if I can find it again and give you the link.
