It would be highly beneficial for users to have the option to save their registrations directly to their calendars, a feature already available on many platforms. While email confirmation is a nice touch, the ability to save the event to one's calendar alongside the confirmation is an important addition that saves time

Not really, still under consideration.

Just to confirm, you would like to have this as an option after the enrollment: one could click a link and then add it to the calender. To demonstrate more, here are few test links (just a silly test event):

Ira and Marty, would you be able to confirm if Antti's description is what you are requesting, or add additional clarification how you mean this would work? If he gets a clear view on the request, it will be easier for him to raise the request with the product team and hopefully make this feature happen :) There are a few organisations that I collaborate with that has been requesting this as well, I will ask them to like and comment as well!

This would be a really nice feature, I believe that the current attached ics-file is too anonymous in the confirmation email that is sent when booking from the widget. 

I've tested the ability to add a link to the email, and I use google calendar. When having a physical meeting (not Teams, google meet or other online meetings) I had to use my private Gmail account to create the calendar booking, to be able to copy the booking link. That is not possible with a professional account.
