I like this idea, and I had suggested this in the spec already, with
"Coming events from" being a menu of calendar apps rather than just an
Evolution checkbox. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate#PC>

I suggest being much less specific with the key names. The event
function at least would be useful outside of indicator-datetime (for
example, an address book listing which events involve a particular
contact), and indicator-datetime itself both predated and might outlive
Unity.

We would also need some way of defining which is your default calendar
app, similar to how you have a default browser and a default mailer, so
that the correct app is launched when you click on a date.

And then we'd need to define what to do in the delightful edge case
where your default calendar app does not know how to navigate to a day
but a non-default app does.

Title:
  Allow for other calendar applications to register with Unity calendar
  indicator

Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  It appears that Unity's calendar indicator (in the global menu, right-
  side of the screen) is hardwired to launch Evolution if an event is
  selected.  In System Settings, the only checkbox relevant to this is
  to show "Coming events from Evolution Calendar".

  It'd be nice if instead the Unity calendar indicator would launch the
  user's chosen default calendar application.

  I'm not suggesting that the calendar indicator quit using Evolution
  Data Server for calendar information, just which application is
  launched in response to a user event.
