CardDAV client that supports death anniversaries (piefed.ca)

In an effort to get away from using Google services, I finally set up a Baïkal server. I've got everything on my phone working well, but when it comes to desktop I'm a little baffled at the lack of more "special dates" support for contacts in my address book. The three I've tried so far are Thunderbird, Betterbird, and Evolution.

In all three cases, creating/editing a contact on the client and navigating to special dates only has a birthday and anniversary option. And if I create/edit a contact on my android apps and give them special dates of death anniversary, name day, or other, those dates will simply not appear on the linux clients I have tries so far.

Does anyone know of a CardDAV client for linux with that support?

Interesting, I hadn't even considered that the apps could have been doing something other than CardDAV. I'll have to look into this angle more. Damn shame if true.
