Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Although events are easy enough to create with the time dropdown, it would probably be a lot easier to create events directly through the reservation calendar as we can see overlaps.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just like with Google Calendar's click and drag, allow users to do this on the reservation calendar -- click and drag then take them to the edit event page with the values for start/end time already filled in.

Describe alternatives you've considered

If possible, have a popup on the reservation calendar instead of navigating to a whole other page to create the event on. Also, potentially have this feature disabled if the user is not authenticated.

Research direction
Implement click and drag functionality on the reservation calendar to create events. This involves adding mouse event handlers to detect drag start, drag, and drag end, and then pre populating the event creation form with the selected time range. Consider using existing calendar library events or building from scratch.
