Reclaim gives you the option to add and edit event descriptions with notes or links for each of your individual Habits, Tasks, and Smart 1:1s meetings.

Unfortunately, Google Calendar does not fully support markdown formatting. If you use markdown to customize the descriptions on your Reclaim smart events, it will show the full element markdown syntax in the event description.
