Create Events and Reminders Inside Notes

Would like to create an Event/Reminder inside a note. This would allow a user to create a note with many events organized by type of event. For example, you could have a note called "birthdays" and list all the birthday of people you know, or "Football Games" with a list of events for the year. You should be able to define the date and time of the event as well as option to repeat event. This feature would then allow for people to share event lists by simply sharing a note.

I would love this. Use cases: a note with details of a trip; a list of birthdays; a list of school holidays; a list of work events. I currently use Drafts and some custom actions that either send a list to Fantastical or something similar. But that's just one-way. For subsequent changes, I have to go into my calendars and tap/click/type endlessly. if NotePlan synced a list like that with the calendar automatically (or at a button press), it would be amazing.

Thanks for adding this here, very exciting idea! Any suggestion how this could be triggered? We could add a context menu point here "Turn to event" (below the synced line menu item):

Eduard Metzger: How about triggering this when applying the date. An event can't exist without a date. So right now you can attach a date by applying the ">" character. How about something similar like ">>" for assigning event? and then ">>>" for reminders. * This is a task >date - This is an event >>event-date - This is a reminder >>>reminder-date

One thing about events is they could extend multiple days. So if I have a two week vacation it would be nice to specify this in one line. Or maybe you want to remember something that is observed for an entire month, like National Ice Cream month!!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_month-long_observances

Joe Wolin: Yes, but as a next step. First it needs to work at all :)

Joe Wolin: It's a cool idea, but not so intuitive. Would be hard to figure out that you can do this at all. It doesn't have to be a special syntax, it can also be part of the date dropdown to simplify it:
