new ICS to Trilium widget

[ecodiv]

ics2trilum

A launch-bar widget ics2trilium that imports .ics calendar files (meeting invitations and events) into your journal. Each event becomes a searchable note under the day note for its start date, with the meeting details and the calendar's native date/time labels so it shows up in a calendar view. Re-importing the same event is recognized as a duplicate rather than stored twice.

The add-on will add labels to imported event notes to identify them as event (#calendar_invite #meeting) for easier filtering and searching. In addition, each event note gets the calendar labels #startDate, #endDate, #startTime and #endTime, so a calendar view shows it as an event. All-day events get date labels only (no time), and a multi-day event's end date is stored inclusively.

@adoriandoran would this be something to consider adding to the Trilium importer; automatic recognition and proper import of .eml and .ics files? .eml because so much information is exchanged by email. It would be great to store the message itself as the source, then easily clone it under the right project, reference it from other notes, and so on. .ics for those who use Trilium for project management, meeting notes, and similar. Imported events could carry the meeting details and the calendar's native date labels so they show up in a calendar view. The two scripts ics2trilum and eml2trilium could perhaps serve as a base?

@ecodiv , .ics maybe as it would go well with the calendar collection.
.eml, not sure. It would make sense but at the same time it would add quite a bit of complexity.
