Yes, but that this one is referencing the complete folder.

An example:
We have three calendars on one homepage.

We have the following addresses:
church1
church2
gym1
gym2
centerbuilding

in Calendar1 you should be able to select:
church1
centerbuilding

in Calendar2:
church2
centerbuilding

in Calendar3:
gym1
gym2
centerbuilding

How would you achieve this with special sysfolders, without getting a
complex sysfolder structure?
I could have made my example more complex.
It could be even more complex if we were talking about feusers/fegroups
for organizer/targetgroups.

No, not sure you got me wrong. That would also be the only way to do it
right now. Just don't think it's very ideal :-)
