You can define your own categories. Just open a task, event or note,
click the categories button and use the new button to create a new
category. Alternatively, you can type the name of the new category in
the text field to the right. A combo box opens up as you type which you
can choose with the mouse or cursor to create the new category or just
complete the name to an existing category. Nice feature, BTW.

Well, I wanted to do that too. I resorted to just use the same summary
for a task and its connected events. Then I can go to calendar, type
parts of that summary into the search box in the upper right and voila,
the tasks and events, containing this summary are shown in the calendar
and task panes, respectively.
