Description

Currently in the display for the upcoming events widget it will show any links that are present on the calendar event details, but they are not clickable within the widget.

Screenshot:
upcoming events widget

In this image the first test event has a full URL (http://whatsinmyhed.today) that is not clickable. In the second event, just for the heck of it I tried to add HTML formatting to the Google event, and where it says "This is where a link should be" there should...be a link.

Research direction

Start at the upcoming events widget entry point and reproduce the display with Google Calendar event details containing a full URL and HTML-formatted link text. Done when links shown in event details are clickable in the widget without changing the rest of the event display.
