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.
