Add Event to outlook using event.ics

Question

Search results webpart gets all the events. We have a display template where we are trying to set the "Add to OutLook" link. Below is the link we are using

https://r.sharepoint.com/sites/test/
/US/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Cmd=Display&List=f4a0ca30-d51d-451b-8dac-56be85a60ad8&CacheControl=1&ID=16&Using=event.ics

But the problem is that we want the description field to be multi line and rich text box. The default column Comments(Description) is just multi-line and not rich text, how is it possible to make it rich text as well. Or can you build the link using parameters so that we can pass a custom TestDescrption column which is multi line and rich text instead of just multi line.

EDIT 1 I tried using the below plugin to add the link and pass data to get the events. http://addtocalendar.com/?utm_source=tag&utm_medium=go&utm_campaign=tag Unfortunatly, it does not take in to consideration the AllDayEvent, Recurrent Event in the options.

Note: I am using an item display template to show the results from the events along with the add to 'calendar link'

You can get some idea from "https://html2openxml.codeplex.com/documentation"
