Provide API or URI scheme to allow opening a calendar item by clicking on it in gnome-shell's notification area
as per discussions on gnome-shell#262 (comment 540721) and evolution#509 (closed) I like to suggest the devlopment of an API for opening an event in the calendar application. Specifically, this would allow to open an event from within the gnome shell. (Though I have not sufficient coding experience.)
I use currently fedora 30, gnome-calendar 3.32.2-1.fc30.
- In gnome-shell, click central date field
- in top bar/notification area
- click on an event of the day - nothing happens; expected/requested behaviour: default calendering app (e.g. gnome-calendar) opens/shows the event's details.
Gnome-shell developers suggest this requested feature requires an API or URI scheme from gnome-calendar. Gnome-shell developers suggested, that if Evolution devs - @aklapper - and gnome-calender app devs could agree on an API or URI scheme, gnome-shell - @fmuellner - could be using this.
The tasks I feel not ready to specify - but am happy to co-think.
@fmuellner wonders and suggests
Does gnome-calendar support that URI scheme as well? Does Settings update the preferred handler when setting the default calendar application?
An URI scheme is a fine way to handle this, as long as it is not application-specific.
