Reminder snooze options "x minutes before start"

Thunderbird Calendar

Is there a setting, like in Outlook, to snooze a reminder until "x minutes before start"?

If I have a reminder for e.g. 3pm, which is set to go off 1 hour before and then I want to snooze to give 5 minutes warning, in Outlook I would set it to remind me 5 minutes before. This works at any time up until 6 minutes before the event, regardless of when I snooze it..

But it seems that in TB, if you're away from your desk until e.g. 2.30pm, then you would have to calculate and manually enter "remind me in 25 minutes" to achieve the same effect.

I can't find an addon which does this, but happy to stand corrected!
