Open selectable daily note instead of only current

[binnisb]

Love the plugin! Thank you so much.

I know it is easy to create weekly and daily notes for other days than today / current week by clicking on the date in the calendar, and you are thinking how to do the same for monthly notes.

I would love to have that functionality in the command pallet: That is in addition to having Open daily note there would be an option:

Periodic notes: Create daily note for selected date

That would allow me to easily create a daily notes for other dates.

My use case is for example:

• Today, I subscribe to a service that renews in a year. I would love to create a daily note for that date to remind me to cancel / renew the subscription.
• Add a daily node in the past for e.g. birthdays.

It would also be very handy if one could insert that note as a link in the current note:

In the case of subscription above, instead of creating the note as suggested and then add the [[link to note]], maybe the option could be:

Periodic notes: Create daily note for selected date and insert link

Do you think this is something worth adding, or should I search for other ways to achieve this functionality?

Hi @binnisb, if I understand the feature request correctly, you might be interested in the "Natural Language Dates" plugin. It helps with the date link creation part. It doesn't automatically create the daily notes for you, though. So there might be an opportunity here for the Periodic Notes plugin to help.

I'll give this some more thought, thanks for the request!
