Where the event is saved is up to the client, nothing we can do about.  
I guess you use iCal to access Kronolith via CalDAV? You didn't  
mention this but from the context this is what I assume.

Yes, this is a duplicate of this and several other tickets.

Because this is not how the iTip standard for event organization  
works. We could implement a separate planning infrastructure just for  
internal users, but noone has come up with an implementation or intent  
to sponsor such development yet.
