Use case or problem
When I create a file and set a date in a frontmatter’s date type property, I would like the file to appear as a linked mention on the daily note so I can see contextually what I was doing on the given day. Currently, the date from the frontmatter is not shown even in the unlinked mentions.
- Conceptually, journal note is a core feature and a first-class object for a date in the app
- I explicitly set date on the file using native feature with a date picker
- I can already “go to date” via contextual menu on the date in frontmatter
- Therefore, I expect these two features to work closer together
Proposed solution
Show file with date in frontmatter in a “Linked mentions” section of the corresponding date file. Example experience: Logseq.
Current workaround
Use text property type for the date in frontmatter to explicitly link the file to a date file via wiki-link. Cons: I can’t use date picker, refactor all notes, doesn’t look as clean.
Thank you for considering!
