API for event description

Is there a way to do something like this:
/api/profile-123/update?birth[date][year]=1969&birth[event_description]=birth event description here

or this:
/api/union-123/update?marriage[date][year]=1969&marriage[event_description]=marriage event description here
?

I could do this:
/api/profile-123/update?about_me=about text here

but I would prefer to put the event descriptions in the events where they belong, not in the profile's about_me.

re: the latter ('About updating, which one can do now) ... you should usually be sure to read (acquire) the current 'about_me' text and APPEND your additional text (with line separators) to the existing text.

re: events ... it would be nice to add/update the Timeline events, but not supported at this time.

That is very disappointing.

But thanks for the advice on the about_me field.

I have more than 5000 links to the soon-to-be-defunct badatelna.eu (https://www.geni.com/discussions/215542).
Most of the links are on the timeline tabs, represented by events in the API.
I have some ideas on how to "translate" these links to point to the new site.
But the API still does not allow write access to events.
Or, does it?
