Use case or problem
If I save a daily note to a workspace, I need to update the workspace every day as the workspace saves the static page rather than the new daily note.
Proposed solution
Have an option to add a daily note as a ‘special’ dynamic page that works with the daily notes plugin which updates each day.
Current workaround (optional)
At the moment I have a homepage that is a placeholder in my ‘home’ workspace that I go to, then using my daily note hotkey. This means I use 2 hotkeys to get back to my home workspace instead of one.

+1. I would find workspaces much more helpful for the way I use Obsidian if the daily note refreshed to the ‘right’ one every day.

Just yesterday I thought about how cool it would be to Star or Pin my daily note and it would always be the newest one. Having it integrated into Workspaces is also a clever idea. Big +1

As a hacky workaround it might be possible to write a shell script that searches for the path of yesterday’s note in the workspace file and replaces it with today’s, and set the script to run automatically on a schedule.
If that doesn’t break anything you’d prolly still need to reload Obsidian for it to take effect, and you’d have to find a way to run it automatically on mobile.

+1 (and a less hacky workaround for now might be to use one of the plugins that does macros, so you could have it invoke the workspace and then invoke the daily note? haven’t set this up myself, don’t know how you’d ensure the right pane was in focus, but might be possible?
