Support using the id as the ctime

Open tefkah opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I saw Nobiot doing this in some post on the discourse, and this sounds like a much better way to to accomplish the same thing as creating new properties.

Upsides:

  1. id is much more easily accessible than the properties using queries
  2. declutters the properties drawer from at least 3 to just 2 entries at minimum
  3. makes the id less ugly and more semantic

Downsides:

  1. Would need to edit all links in all files in order to make this work
  2. would need to put in some check which checks whether the id is some sort of date string to use as the ctime

I think this is worth it.

I like this suggestion to. I use datetime ids like these: aj:2022-01-18.21:12:31.224, so it makes a lot of sense.
