Well, some web interfaces allow to do just that, but what they do is they 
visualize that a new event is being created here and show a prompt within the 
calendar that allows direct editing.

But what I am saying is that if the application does not provide any kind of 
feedback on what the user could be doing or is expected to do, there is 
definitely room for improvement, e.g. what is the use case for selecting a slot 
in the calendar without creating a new event? (current behaviour)

Or: How do I select a slot that is within existing events (which were events 
of other people, or non-blocking items in the calendar)?

Perhaps at the next KDE PIM sprint when I believe stability will be resolved 
we can get Björn to come back and then do a long session on how such things 
could / should work?

Best regards,
Georg
