In the description, you mentioned that "Clock-app could specify the
information it needs in the URL, then open the right page when passed
that information later. indicator-datetime would act as a simple pass-
through."  Isn't it the other way around? The use case that I see is
that when the user presses on an alarm shown in i-dt, i-dt then passes
the necessary information that clock app requires to identify the alarm
chosen by the user to open it.

I would still need to discuss with zsombor as to what information is
required by the alarms API to open a specific alarm.

  i-dt should support ical's "url" property for launching related apps

Bug description:
  indicator-datetime needs a way to dispatch an arbitrary URL when a
  user clicks on an ical event menuitem.

  In practice, datetime currently has clock-app hardwired for
  dispatching alarms (dispatch_url('appid://com.ubuntu.clock/clock
  /current-user-version')) and calendar-app for everything else
  (dispatch_url('appid://com.ubuntu.calendar/calendar/current-user-
  version')).

  There are two use cases that can be supported by datetime handling the
  URL property <http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/url.html>:

  (1) Clicking on an alarm menuitem opens up clock-app to that specific
  alarm, rather than to clock-app's main page. Clock-app could specify
  the information it needs in the URL, then open the right page when
  passed that information later. indicator-datetime would act as a
  simple pass-through.

  (2) non-calendar, non-alarm items such as from the reminders app as
  requested by mzanetti. The pattern would be the same as clock-app:
  Reminders would add whatever URL it wants, then datetime would act as
  a simple pass-through. This is preferable to adding more special cases
  to indicator-datetime.
