Option to show start-end dates on multi-day events

Bug Description

Multi-day events with start and end times could be mistaken for daily repeating events because of how the times are displayed on the event. The times are separated only by a hyphen, so it's unclear they represent different dates. For example, an event which begins on Monday, August 8th, 2022 at 9am and ends on Friday, August 10th, 2022 at 5pm displays only "9a - 5p".

It should display "August 5th, 9am - August 10th, 5pm" or some variation which indicates the start and end times are bookends of the event on different days, and do not reflect daily times within a multi-day event. Having the start/end dates shown on multi-day events would be nice even when there are not times provided/displayed.

(Daily repeating events appear differently in that they have multiple boxes instead of one elongated box, but one must already be aware of this distinction to correctly interpret the schedule without context.)

I believe this existing ticket captures this need:

You could use eventContent to manually render that content. It doesn't seem like a bug since the end date can be identified by where the event is displayed in the calendar.

Hi @acerix! These issues seem distinct to me. The referenced issue is about how when an event spans multiple days, the first segment shows an end time that is not the event's final end time.

My issue is also regarding an event spanning multiple days but occurs in week view. It seems the event should display the beginning and end dates if they are different, rather than just the beginning and end times of the multi-day event. Do you think this issue would be addressed in the fix for the other one?

I can see how including the dates might not be covered by that issue so I'll reopen this so it can be addressed.

Thanks, @acerix! Just a note that having an option to show the dates in multi-day events would be nice regardless of whether the event is timed.
