Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing calendar_item_details API and the current event dialog, focusing on how column widths and panels are handled. This proposal does not name files or tests; confirm the intended multi-frame schema and placement options with maintainers first. Done should mean an agreed, implementable design with validation coverage.

Description

One issue I had with calendar_item_details and the current event dialog is that it is hard to mimic the column layout without knowing what the column width is. I'm wondering if we should have a more granular item details approach where multiple frames are possible.

"calendar_item_details": [
  {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_conference__",
    "default_panel": "/content/conference_panel.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/new-event-dialog-only/conference.svg"
    },
    "after": "location"
  },
  {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_eventtype__",
    "default_panel": "/content/eventtype_panel.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/new-event-dialog-only/event-type-default.svg"
    },
    "after": null
  },
 {
    "default_title": "__MSG_gdata_whatever_tab__",
    "default_panel": "/content/tab.html",
    "default_icon": {
      "16": "/content/event_tab.svg"
    },
    "default_area": "tab"
  },
],
