Research direction

Start by locating the Calendar component and reading how its header and day/month granularity are currently controlled. Compare the proposed optional onHeaderClick handler with a custom header component, noting what API behavior each would require. Done means the header can be clicked to switch granularity and navigate more quickly; the issue does not name files or tests.

Description

Currently, the Calendar component can be either have granularity of day or month, but it can't be switched without an "external" component controlling the state.

I would like to be able to click on the Calendar header (like November 2024) to switch the granularity to month to allow the user to navigate to a different month or year quicker.

This could be solved either by supported an optional onHeaderClick handler or by allowing a custom component for the header.
