GNOME does allow defining a default calendar (System Settings -> Details
-> Default Applications), so that could be used by indicator-datetime as
well.  But as Charles pointed out, since indicator-datetime is
displaying calendar events, it should probably be keyed to a calendar
application that can display those same events as well.  If indicator-
datetime is opened up to "any" calendar app, like Lightning, then I
would think the user experience demands that indicator-datetime have an
internal interface into the application's known events, i.e.
liblightning, if such a thing existed.  I suppose a D-Bus interface
could be spec'd out, sort of like Messaging Menu, but I'd be happy with
just using the .desktop file as a first step.  (To be clear, I'm not
wedded to my proposed key names, I was just being verbose for clarity's
sake.)
