Adding items to the list of one note, and displaying them in the list of another – is this possible?

What I am trying to do

I use Obsidian to journal daily. In a physical notebook, I recently saw a cool idea of having a list with one sentence summaries of every day, so that when you glance at a month you can quickly see all the the things that happened.

Is there a way to replicate something like in Obsidian? The way I think it would work:

1. Have a daily template with a section for the 1-sentence summary
2. Have a separate note where these 1-sentence summaries are automatically appended.

I have tried doing this with internal links, but I can’t find a way to do it automatically. Other possible methods:

• Tagging and then embedding search results on a page?
• Something with YAML? I clearly know what I’m talking about

The way forward would be to investigate into inline fields, and doing dataview queries on those fields.

I.e. having the following in the main text of your daily notes:

summary:: Today was the best day ever

and then some query like

```dataview
list summary
from #dailyNotes
```

So, go install the community plugin Dataview, and read up on how to use it. One possible starter point could be: How to get started with Obsidian Dataview and DataviewJS | by Jacqui Read | OS TechBlog | Medium

This should work.
