Feature request: Google Places lookup for calendar event locations #138

@ziggys-io

Description

@ziggys-io

Summary

When creating calendar events via gog calendar create --location, it would be great to support Google Places lookup so events can link to actual business listings rather than just text strings.

Current behavior

--location accepts a text string that gets stored as-is in the event.

Desired behavior

Option to search Google Places and attach the Place ID, so the calendar event shows:

  • Business photo
  • Hours
  • Reviews/rating
  • Direct link to Google Maps listing

Suggested implementation

Could be something like:

  • --location-search "Elysian Coffee Vancouver" — searches Places API and picks best match
  • --place-id ChIJ... — directly specify a Place ID if known

Context

When you pick a location from Google Calendar's UI, it attaches the Place ID which makes the event much richer. Would be nice to have parity in the CLI.

Thanks for the great tool! 🙏
