In both cases the script being called is "Go To Related Record From WebViewer" and it's passed a parameter indicating the number of the source you're trying to go to.
In Sample Events, "contacts" are related source number 1 and "projects" are related source number 2. You specify these sources by editing the related sources layouts as part of integrating the calendar with your own files. More here: Linked Contacts And Projects?.
Once specified, the script "Which Detail Views to Use..." determines which layouts to load for each related source. Feel free to edit that script to refer to your own contact and project detail layouts.

Can I jump right to my contact's record from the calendar?
Sure. On our Event Details layout you'll see a place to link a contact to the event. Now you may already have a mechanism for linking contacts to your events, but if you don't you can use the simple drop down list method we're using here (if you're not familiar with this, check out the value list "Contact" in our example file to see how we're showing the contact's ID and their name).
Once a contact is linked to an event, you'll see a green arrow beside "contact" clicking that will take you to the contacts record in the layout of your choice:
