[idea] Calendar app recognising links
asked 2014-09-22 18:24:42 +0300
I happily use google calendar synchronization in my Jolla without any issues and besides that minor lag appearing when scrolling through calendar pages I really appreciate the app. However during the time of using it I got the idea of a feature that would reduce the number of steps I must sometimes execute. I found it potentially comfortable to use google calendar as a reminder to access some sites later. IFTTT triggers entries with links to “watch later„ videos on youtube, to some articles on pocket and so on. The thing is calendar doesn't recognize the links stored in descriptions of calendar entries and the whole process of copy-pasting it into browser takes about 9 steps...when it can be only 2 with calendar already started. Idea is to implement some sort of scanning for web address ability into calendar so it can lunch a browser with webpage by clicking it in the calendars entry. I seems to me as a doable feature but I'm not a programist. Same thing would made to the htmlview in email app which sometimes too doesn't regonize links. 
Ideally, I think all links in all applications should open in the web browser when selected.
