That does not really fit my use cases (see also Bug 453298). For example, the
duration of a phone call or meeting does not depend on distance of the event.
What would make more sense to me is a constant distance before the event. But
also in this case a single duration would most probably be not enough to be
useful in the majority of use cases. 

Some Ideas here (I am not very familiar with the implementation specific
limitations, so please say if they are not worthwhile to consider). 
A) Is it possible to have a drop down button that let you select a list of
default snooze times? Having just multiple intervals with good (maybe
configurable defaults) would make more sense to me, if a custom input is not
possible.   For example: 5 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 1 Hour, 2 Hours, 5 Hours, 1
Day, 1 Hour before the even, 30 minutes before the event start, 5 minuted
before the event, when the event starts.
B) When copying a file, there is a hamburger menu in the notification area,
where i get full access to file operations about the copied file (see
screenshot). If a direct drop down button is not possible for the snooze button
(see A), it maybe possible to give advanced options in such an hamburger menu.
I think such a drop down menu would also make sense for things like a direct
editing of events (see Bug ). 
C) maybe it is possible to open another message box that asks about a custom
delay if such an option is available (e.g., through A or B)
D) Is it possible to display more complex widgets  than a simple line based
menu for the hamburger?
