Right now there isn't an automated solution for this. If you had  
someone monitor the email addresses of the "virtual people", then that  
solution should work well for you. Alternately you could add some  
scripting either after saving an event or in a separate script to use  
the location field.

However, the good news is that some folks are working on implementing  
a proper resources feature for Kronolith. So this should be available  
by Kronolith 3.0 at the latest.
