I have an event to render in iCalendar format that spans 3 days with a different time on each day. How can I most effectively render this in an iCalendar file? The iCalendar spec seems to say that recurrence dates only allow the date component, not the time component.
I don’t believe there is an easy way. I think the only way might be to have 3 events day1, day2, day 3. You could experiment with using

and
RELTYPE
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5545#section-3.2.15
to link the events. (maybe with a parent event that is the 3 day one for folks who just want to book out the whole 3 days?)
I haven’t tried it yet myself, so I don’t know how well supported it is by various calendar applications, or how it would be shown/interpreted or used.
There are some draft documents about the use:

If you do discover anything around this, please post back. Thanks.
