When we click new event from opportunity, the opportunity get auto filled in the event. Is it possible to do the same for other fields?
When i click on new event on opportunity, this the url which we get
This passes the whatid into the url, tried to pass subject in the url, it didnt work. Any ideas if this could be achieved

You can do this with a custom button. Here are the steps:
- Create a custom button (Setup > Customize > Activities > Event Buttons and Links:
Here's the formula for easy cut and paste. You can see I added &evt5={!Opportunity.Name}. This sends over the opportunity name as the subject:
/00U/e?who_id={!Opportunity.AccountId}&what_id={!Opportunity.Id}&retURL=%2F{!Opportunity.Id}&evt5={!Opportunity.Name}
- Add this button to your Opportunity page layout. You need to click on the little wrench on the Open Activities section:
Then add the custom button and optionally remove the standard New Event button:
