I used reminders often on my phone and now began to sync my calendar to KOrganizer. Reminders on my phone are similar to an incomming SMS message, displayed as common notification not interrupting me. But KOrganizer reminds me with an dialog window popping up over what I'm currently working on. This interrupts me heavily and is not what I was expecting. KDE Connect seems to fulfill my expectations as it forwards my reminder notification from my phone to my computer without interrupting me. However KDE Connect requires my phone to be turned on and being in the same network (which is not always the case) and so it would be better if KOrganizer could do this on its own in a good way. Enabling such a feature using a global option would be really great.
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.. but maybe we already have this feature. look in the bottom left area for the calendar manager. right-mouse context menu on the calendar you want manage. select Folder Properties. click "Block reminders locally" repeat for all calendars you want to block. terrible UI, I agree. let me know if this does what you want
No. This only helps me as long as KDE Connect syncs calendar reminders from my phone to my PC. I want to change KOrganizer current behavior of reminding the user using a dialog to using simple notifications. To clarify, it would be good enough if on every reminder, KOrganizer does instead call: $ notify-send -t 0 "Reminder for <APPOINTMENT> at <TIME>" I wish such kind of notifications for me.
Can confirm. I will work on a fix.

It sounds pretty insightful.

Great :) Glen pointed out the current plans/discussions regarding reminders already, another relevant thing to look at is https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/calindori/-/tree/master/calindac, which might contain some reusable code for the notifications already.
korgac has been replaced by a new reminder daemon, kalendarac, in version 22.04.0 (5.20.0). It uses notifications to display reminders.
