In the description, you mentioned that "Clock-app could specify the information it needs in the URL, then open the right page when passed that information later. indicator-datetime would act as a simple pass- through." Isn't it the other way around? The use case that I see is that when the user presses on an alarm shown in i-dt, i-dt then passes the necessary information that clock app requires to identify the alarm chosen by the user to open it.
I would still need to discuss with zsombor as to what information is required by the alarms API to open a specific alarm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

In practice, datetime currently has clock-app hardwired for dispatching alarms (dispatch_url('appid://com.ubuntu.clock/clock /current-user-version')) and calendar-app for everything else (dispatch_url('appid://com.ubuntu.calendar/calendar/current-user- version')). There are two use cases that can be supported by datetime handling the URL property <http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/url.html>: (1) Clicking on an alarm menuitem opens up clock-app to that specific alarm, rather than to clock-app's main page. Clock-app could specify the information it needs in the URL, then open the right page when passed that information later. indicator-datetime would act as a simple pass-through. (2) non-calendar, non-alarm items such as from the reminders app as requested by mzanetti. The pattern would be the same as clock-app: Reminders would add whatever URL it wants, then datetime would act as a simple pass-through. This is preferable to adding more special cases to indicator-datetime.
