RSEvents!Pro content plugin

I need to add text before and after event items, and I'd like to be able to add events or event lists or categories to articles.
Currently the only way to achieve something like that (if at all possible) seems to be template overrides.
Therefore I wish that a content plugin was created to place RSEvents!Pro items in any content.
Like this:
{rsevents event=123 details=true} -> outputs event #123
details:
true -> content of details page is shown
false -> list item is shown (like in events list)
{rsevents category=party} -> outputs events of the "party" category
{rsevents tag=party,fun,dance} -> outputs events that have one of the listed tags
etc.
Though we don't always agree with customer workflow, we do listen to their needs. I would recommend keeping an eye for future updates. We have already implemented something similar:

QuoteThat is slightly better, but comes nowhere near the flexibility and ease of use of a content plugin.
And the module manager is yet another place that I like to keep clients away from ...
@Ralf
There are other means as well. For example, you can add a simple module position above the event listing that will incorporate your custom text. The module configuration would be easier.

But it is not simple. I cannot ask a client to add or edit a template override if he wants to change a bit of text. Try to explain to a client what that even is, a template override.
@LaVerbe
You can simply use a template override to write down your description:

I'm also looking for a way to place some general description above my list of events. Please make something for this, as it is a very important feature!!
QuoteContent plugin
I'd like a content plugin so that I can add event/user/registration related information on the Payment success return page.
