Properties: differentiate between created vs noncreated Daily Notes in Date properties

Use case or problem

The new date property type is quite handy. I especially like how it automatically links to the corresponding Daily Note.

However, it currently does not differentiate between created versus noncreated Daily Notes, making it impossible to tell which dates are associated with existing Daily Notes and which aren’t.

For example, in the following two Date Fields, Date 1 does not exist as a Daily Note, while Date 2 does.

Currently, there is no indication of this difference.

Proposed solution

Dates that do have a Daily Note can be shown as they are now, with a hyperlink symbol. Dates that don’t have a Daily Note should be shown with the Create Note icon image
used everywhere else in Obsidian.
