Well, after you wrote this, I brought it up again to take a picture, but it looks like I was mistaken (again). Shows that I never use that app as fantastical is far better... anyway, it looks like it works and when I clicked on today's date it worked as I said. However, when you click on any other day, it just brings up today's event again. 🙁 It just so happened that the day I was choosing was the same day of the week so the events were the same.
My apologies for getting anyone's hopes up.
