display multiple timezones in Day and Week view

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Converting between timezones is annoying, the nextcloud calendar could make it less annoying.

Describe the solution you'd like

A mock-up is here, I would like to be able to simultaneously display several timezones of my choosing: https://help.nextcloud.com/t/show-multiple-time-zones/137287

Describe alternatives you've considered

I currently use other applications for this, which do it sub-optimally - it would be nice to be using the nextcloud calendar application instead.

Additional context

Do you mind saying which ones so we can have a look at how they handle it?

linked forum post mentions MS Outlook, another mentioned a google feature, which I am not familiar with.

I too work in a distributed team. The only way that we can stay sane is by using UTC time for scheduling meetings. I've set nextcloud calendar to show me UTC time, which works great. The only problem is, I don't live in UTC time, so I'm constantly confused looking at the meetings I have scheduled because I might have a meeting at 17h UTC, but when is that in my day? I need to do a conversion to find out that this might interfere with my lunch our, so I need to plan accordingly. It would be great if I could continue to schedule meetings in UTC, but also show me what that is in my home time zone !

This TimeZoneChallenged.user.js GreaseMonkey script from Giorgio allows you to see the UTC time next to your local time in the left column of the Nextcloud Calendar's "weekly" view. Really nice, and a good inspiration for a native implementation here, IMHO.

Here's a screenshot:

The "big" normal looking thing is local, the smaller one is UTC.
