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! 🙏
