There is currently no such way. I assume the feature might not be  
supported by that many other clients. So you should probably define  
your own extension to the format. But I admit that this will be hard  
with recurrences. Usually the format extensions are meant to hold  
additional attributes. Extending the meaning of existing attributes  
might be much harder.

Still we should of course discuss this feature if at least one client  
supports it.

Bernhard, do you see any way of getting this forward quickly?

Cheers,

Gunnar
