One thing I miss from Outlook and Entourage is the ability to link files to iCal events. I can set an alarm to open a file at a certain time, but sometimes I just want to have all the files associated with an event handy. I just noticed that one can link files to iCal events by using the file:// prefix in the URL field. Not ideal, but for now, that will have to do.

Link files to iCal events
I am working on a new version of MailTags which will link mail messages to ical to do's (So from a message, you can create, alter, delete to do items) Clicking on the url in ical will open the mail message in question.
Also the link is 2 ways so that changes to an item in ical will update the message in mail when you revisit the linked message. For more details you can visit a teaser post on Tim Gaden's excellent hawkwings site
