Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the reminder scheduling and recurrence handling in the app, then determine how recurring reminders are represented and where a second-Tuesday rule would need to be supported; done means the rule can be created and triggers on the correct date each month.

Description

enhancement needs design

Hi I'd like to setup a reminder on the second Tuesday of every month, which changes day numbers and can sometimes be either the 2nd week or 3rd week. Is this something that is possible to implement?

Historically on most calendar software (Outlook, Google Calendar) this is something that isn't possible to setup, however this would be very helpful as I have tasks at my job which require me to kick off on that second Tuesday every month.
