macOSXHints is running a tip reminding you how to link files to events in iCal by (i) typing the file’s path name preceded by file:// into the URL field or (ii) by dragging and dropping the files.

In the comments, a poster has linked to an older tip. Here you will find an AppleScript that creates a reminder in iCal to respond to a selected Mail.app message.

Scroll down a bit. You will want the third, corrected posting of the script.

This is a third way to make reminders to deal with a certain email at a future date. You could also use Zak Greant’s full-blown GTD Tickler file script or Roger Eberhart’s MailTags approach.
