Hi John,
Ooo, interesting question! That a good idea and admittedly one that is not supported in Community Events. If you can get that to work with another third-party plugin, that would be great, though I am not aware of one that would do the trick and we unfortunately cannot guarantee the calendar will integrate with other third-party plugins.
It would be awesome to know a little more about how that sort of feature would work. If you have a moment, please do add this to our feature request forum and let us know how that functionality and/or shortcode might work. I wonder if others would find that useful as well and, if so, that would help us look into it on our end.
Sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you, but does this at least help answer your question? Please let me know.
Geoff
