How does it manage to do it?
As far as I can tell, that link delivers an ics file, “event.ics”, which is then opened automatically by the OS (also happens for ics attachments in Mail). Since this only writes to the calendar and the original stink that caused restrictions was about reading calendar/address book info and uploading that to a server, I guess Apple finds that OK. Now I don’t remember any sanctioned ways to open a file without user interaction, so this might not actually help you...
