Automatically alias daily notes to weekly notes

What I’m trying to do

I like having the little calendar on the side and use weekly notes and weekly notes only for my daily work. (I’m bouncing around between tasks enough in a week that having one large weekly note to cover my various projects just works better for me and less cluttered). Is there a way so that any time I would otherwise open a daily note, (like automatically when I open Obsidian or through clicking on a date in that little calendar or my day planner app) it instead opens the weekly note?

I tried doing this by just aliasing the dates of the week into the weekly note template, but “A” that’s harder than it seems and I’m struggling to do that and “B” it doesn’t seem to work the way I want even if I did get the template working. When the weekly note has an alias of 2024-08-14 clicking on the calendar date still makes a new daily note with that name.

If you set Calendar to show week numbers, you can click those. I believe disabling daily notes should prevent Calendar from trying to load them when you click dates.

The Homepage plugin might be able to load weekly notes on startup?
