To Safari - probably not. You’d have to bring up the document interaction controller, which would bring up any app that supports ICS - which would bring up the Calendar app. That would do what you want, but it would also invoke a lot more UI…which seems like it’d be simpler to just allow access.

Since this only writes to the calendar and the original stink that caused restrictions was about reading calendar/address book info and uploading that to a server, I guess Apple finds that OK.
