Relative dates

[mzantsi]

Use case or problem

The aim is to create a static page that could be used for actions like retrospective reviews. It would have a series of links to Daily Note Pages, such as:

{{today}}
{{one week ago}}
{{one month ago}}
{{three months ago}}
{{six months ago}}

These would be rendered into a DNP link [[YYYY-MM-DD]] relative to today’s date.

Proposed solution

The creation of a date variable for use in Obsidian’s markdown.

Current workaround (optional)

A templater script can be made for the Daily Note Page, but this doesn’t need to be made for every page and adds clutter.

There may be rough approximations using Dataview or search queries.

How to find a list of notes dated within a fixed period relative to the current date?

What I’m trying to do I am trying to write a query that will turn out notes that look back over a fixed period relative to the current date. For example, I’d like a note that brings up only the last two weeks of my daily notes, or the last month. I don’t know how to reference the current date variable, let alone put a comparator and a date range in a search query.
