Support/pull in attachments from Google Events

Imagine the case where I have scheduled a meeting/event with someone to pair program with or work on some tasks and also a slot (not available yet, but just call it a bundle of tasks) to add many tasks that need to be reviewed each week. So that I am not context switching, between Akiflow and Google Calendar, I often find myself still using my Google Calendar (and filling out Akiflow afterward) because the attachments have not been pulled into Akiflow for easy access.

    Posting this on behalf of Alex Baker: Enable file attachments for events within Akiflow, mirroring the existing feature in Outlook Calendar. This would streamline the process by allowing users to access all event-related files directly in Akiflow, improving workflow efficiency and integration consistency.

    Should change the scope of this to pull in attachments from all other calendars Akiflow currently integrates with.

    The calendar API does seem to support attachments: https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/v3/reference/events

      Hayden Barnes: This isn't attachments but just a different way to display links to google drive items. Which I agree AkiFlow should do as well

      James: You are right, the correct API is here: the alternateLink property in the File resource to get a link that can be shared for opening the file in the relevant Google editor or viewer:

      Thank you!
