ICAL export to Outlook creates new calendar

[integent]

Hello,
I just purchased several of your modules to facilitate events and am pleased thus far. The one exception is the ICAL export to Outlook creates a new calendar rather than adding to an existing calendar. Most of my customers will be using Outlook, and I know this is going to be something that is going to result is a reduction of attendance.

Is there a plan to address this such that the export will result in an addition of a calendar entry to an existing calendar in Microsoft outlook?
Is yes to above, is there an anticipated timeline?
What is a workaround to the above that would provide the end-user a less cumbersome experience, Eventbrite?

Thank you.
-Dan
