Bases—How to list notes with specific text content?

Hello Obsidian wizards!

What I’m trying to do

In my notes/writing, I include timestamps in this format:

Drawing dreams–10/27/2025, 5:30 PM^03

I enjoy being able to create indices of these timestamps. For example, I have a note called OCTOBER 27, listing any timestamp marked for October 27th of any year (or any other day)(or minute).

However, creating/organizing these notes involves creating indices with a Python code I wrote. This code can take an hour or so to index my whole vault, and doesn’t function automatically.

Bases feels like it can solve this, but I can’t quite figure out if it’s even possible with current sorting/functionality.

In short; can I create a base that can list notes with headings with given timestamps (e.g. “10/27”), and then link TO those specific headings?

Thanks for your time.
