New hotkey: create unique note + add link to that note wherever my cursor currently is

Use case or problem

I use the core Unique Note Creator plugin to spin out my thinking from my daily note into a new evergreen page.

BUT, when I do this, i want to also create a link in my daily note which points at the unique note.

Proposed solution

Add a new hotkey: “Unique note creator: Create note & link at cursor”

It creates the note, and also adds a [[2025-06-xx-xx]] link at the current cursor position, then maybe also opens the new note

Current workaround (optional)

Sometimes I go CTRL-C CTRL-V the title of the unique note, or type it out by sight.

In practice I just avoid using unique note because the name it creates is too long for me to deal with manually, but if it was automated to create the link I would definitely use it.

Related feature requests (optional)

unsure

Workaround: QuickAdd community plugin [1]

Basically all feature requests related to Unique note creator are just asking QuickAdd as native feature.
