What is the syntax in the iCal quick-add field to register a location?

in the lion-quick-add field one can enter 'Lunch with Frank 1-3 pm' which creates such an event. How does one pass on the location in the quick entry field? 'at' or 'in' or @ dont work, but get added to the name of the event.

I use 'Remind Me Later' free app. from the App Store - very handy little app that sits in the menu bar so you can add events or to-dos to iCal as you think of them without having to go to iCal. With this app you can enter 'Meet Mary at Town Hall 9pm tomorrow' and the event created will have Town Hall in the Location and the words 'Town Hall' will be shown feint in the event title in the Calendar. This doesn't seem to work for the 'Create Quick Event' window in iCal for some strange reason.


Cheers.
