Hello Mike. There's definitely no "preset value" button you can use within MLO. Some people are using an app called "Auto Hot Key" (or "AHK" if you want to do a text search in the forum). I haven't tried it, but you might be able to create a script to do what you want.
Another thing which might work for some would be to use flags to set things up for the morning and afternoon. From my point of view, reminder alarms are quite distracting, so I'd rather only use them for scheduled appointments. I'd use views to see what's scheduled for the day, starting with the urgent or important stuff and then working down the list - with a flag or star, I could distinguish between things I've got planned for the morning and things I want to put off into the afternoon, then use grouping so that I see them in two different lists.
