You don't have to run a query from the extending class at all. In fact,
I can't see it as the responsibility of a calender class to dig in a
database.

I think your extending class needs to be passed a links collection (or
array) in either the constructor or a setter.

It is the responsibility of the code that _calls_ the calendar to
provide the links list. This list may then come from memory, a database,
or wherever.
