Hello Devs,
I'm a fan of Samsung, because of the interoperability and ease of use. I also like your prosumer features.

I have a simple (and would assume common) feature request. It feels like it is 90% implemented, but there is currently no good way to do this, which makes it all the more frustrating.

I sometimes want to block time in my calendar, to work on specific tasks. So there is a to-Do List, that belongs to that time slot. I would be so amazing, if I could somehow link that to-do List with the Calendar entry.  That is what I want.
Here is the problem: There is currently no way, to create to-do Lists in the Event title or comment. (Like there is in the reminder).
Currently, possible workaround 1: Since this feature exists in the reminder, I can create a To-do List there and make that reminder show up in the calendar. But, the Reminders have no duration option. The reminder shows up as a barely noticeable bar, it's so small, the Header only becomes visible, when zooming in. (This seems not like working as intended.) And I can't Block time for the tasks this way.

Workaround 2: I can create a normal calendar event and A reminder with the same Time and a to-Do list. This works, but looks disgusting with the two bars side by side. Also, it's twice the work, since I need to create two separate things in different apps.

Workaround3: I can create a shared Note (with the beta feature) in the Samsung noes app and copy the link to the calendar events comment. So I can access it that way. But this takes extra work, a lot of loading time and will probably no longer work  when the link expires.

Possible features to solve this problem:
1. Give the To-Do List feature to the calendar comment or Title. Its only square brackets in plain Text anyway and its already implemented in the Reminder.
2. Give the Reminders a duration option, so they show up as longer bars in the calendar. (90% implemented already)
3. Give an option to create links to Notes on device, that can be used in the calendar comments (Might have other upsides in different apps for powerusers too).
