Description

Hello,

Sometimes you want to have two alarms: one before the event start and one before the event stops. The icalendar allow to do this with the RELATED property of alarm's TRIGGER: https://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/trigger.html

It would be nice if khal was able to specify those. I think a simple flag on the alarm line would be enough UI-wise to do it.

Start by locating khal's alarm-line handling and the iCalendar TRIGGER serialization mentioned in the issue. Check how alarm options are parsed and represented, then verify that the proposed flag can express RELATED triggers for alarms before an event starts and before it stops.
