As I said, I’ve been exploring this idea, and I came up with something. I’m pretty sure it’s nothing like what you referenced @n0ll , but you gave me a direction so thank you!
Disclaimer
I’ve never coded in javascript in my life, not to speak about scripting with Obsidian. The following code is my first attempt and is W.I.P and about 70-80% auto generated by GitHub CoPilot, with me typing what I want in English based on all of the different YouTube videos I’ve seen, and hoping for the best 
. So I have no clue if I’m using javascript best practices and I’m pretty sure this code is very “bad” so to speak, but I know one thing - it works! And even if it’s not that useful as is, it might be a good starting point for someone else like me 
Goal
My goal was to be able to modify sections of my frontmatter/metadata and have it all formatted automatically so that I could separate the sections into files and organize them all nicely.
End Results
- Assuming a hard-coded frontmatter scheme (sections).
- Assuming additional functions which I will not share (pointless).
Frontmatter 
---
alias:
- ""
---
-
header.md: Some default header to encapsulate everything.
-
buttons.md: Buttons I want to add to the frontmatter.
-
footer.md: Footer string, --- for example.
createFrontmatter.js
async function createFrontmatter(tp, include_frontmatter = true) {
console.log("createFrontmatter: Generating metadata for \"" + tp.file.title + "\"")
let frontmatter = await tp.file.include('[[frontmatter]]')
let header = await tp.file.include('[[header]]')
let buttons = await tp.file.include('[[buttons]]')
let additional_metadata = await tp.user.createAdditionalMetadata(tp)
let footer = await tp.file.include('[[footer]]')
let frontmatter_template = ``
if (include_frontmatter) {
frontmatter_template +=
`${frontmatter}\n`
}
frontmatter_template +=
`${header}\n` +
`${buttons}\n\n` +
`${additional_metadata}\n\n` +
`${footer}`
