Feature suggestion: Adding custom named dates

[kalavinka]

To request a feature...

• Clearly describe the feature. Allow the user to establish new named dates according to their needs, ideally through something as simple as adding a new line in the .taskrc file.
• Clearly state the use case. We are only interested in use cases, do not waste time with implementation details or suggested syntax. For example, there are tasks I sometimes want to defer until I get off work. So I would like to add a "tonight" date that translates into "today at 17:30", so that I could quickly defer certain tasks by adding a wait:tonight attribute. I understand I can use contexts to achieve something like this, but since my work/personal time schedules are extremely flexible, I'd rather see all my tasks on the same list and prioritize or defer as needed.

This would be a great feature. "beforeteamwip" would always be the next Tuesday at 9:30am, for example. One vote from me!

A plus-one from me. I was trying to work on a hook-based method to realize this, only to find that on-launch is too early to modify anything and on-add is executed after the input date is evaluated…

btw, #1906 seems to talk about the same feature. So it is over 6 years now… ;)
