[Enhancement] Click on non-editable event should link to event page in calendar of record when possible

Open pm64 opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

I look forward to one day being able to edit Google Calendar (for example) events directly from Big Calendar, my favorite calendar plugin.

But I wonder, in the meantime, as a stop-gap, might we consider simply linking such events to the event detail page in whatever system the event originated in (Google/Fastmail Calendar/etc)? This would give the user a way to view event details without needing to go find the event on a 2nd calendar.

I'm not sure if sufficient information is already available to the Big Calendar plugin for every event, such that the necessary external event URL and "fallback" behavior could be known in each case. But if the system of record or event ID (and thus the event detail URL) can't be discerned, you could check the event "description" for a link, and if one is present, navigate to that link, as a last resort.

This would enhance my workflow by an order of magnitude, I suspect others would similarly enjoy.
