A couple of other ideas..
(1) control/command-i (a.k.a. Get Info) to open a new window [or maybe
alt-enter on Windows and command-i on Mac to be platform-consistent
but app-inconsistent (tbpcbai)]
(2) click+enter to edit lozenge [or click+F2 on Windows and click
+Return on Mac tbpcbai]
Clicking on an already-selected lozenge (i.e. "slow double click") can
be implemented in addition to one of the other solutions.
Note: double-clicking to edit a lozenge is standard on some existing
calendar apps (in iCal at least. In Outlook it makes events look like
Mail messages you have to explicitly save changes to; yuck!), so
having a different behaviour will cause user confusion (that's not
what I meant to do!).

Hi, Mimi
To keep some of the unit tests going, I made option-double-click(*)
on Calendar lozenges do edit in place. Besides the button in the
detail view, a context menu or "real" menu would be easy to
implement, too.

(*) a.k.a. alt-double-click on Windows/Linux.

Today I d-clicked on an event lozenge to edit it and I got an
independent detail view instead. While I think d-click on an item
in the List View is relatively rare (except for users who know you
can d-click on the Triage Status), d-click on events in the
calendar is pretty standard.
(My bad, I forgot about that case.)
Has anyone else run into this? How bad is this? Perhaps we need to
just suck it up and a button to the top of the detail view to make
an independent window and leave d-click alone.
