Description

Hi,

I'm pretty new to ikhal, but i'm having an issue which i'm not sure if that's how it normally is or if i'm missing something.

Let's say i add an event to the calendar and i add an url to it, how can i copy/get/open/retrieve that url from the event later? I can't seem to be able to use the mouse to select the url text, i can't open it, parse it, or nothing, it's just there and i can't seem to find a way to integract with it.

This seems really odd, it'd be a killer feature for me, since it's pretty much the reason why i'm switching to khal (to store meeting urls).

Edit: Sorry, wrote khal, i mean ikhal, the interactive khal mode.

Research direction

Start by tracing ikhal's event-detail view and how event URLs are displayed or retained. Determine the existing interaction path for an event, then verify that a user can retrieve, copy, or open its URL from the interactive view and test the behavior with a URL-bearing event.
