QuickAdd Plugin (more of an "how to" than a "feature request", actually)

I'm a new user of NotePlan, coming from Roam and landed into Obsidian and Logseq. So, please forgive me if this question has already been posted/answered here or in other places (Discord, Reddit...)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to insert today's date using QuickAdd when appending my text to a note

Describe the solution you'd like
I know that I could simply write today's date "by hand" (i.e. "2022-08-29" or whatever), but wouldn't it be simpler if I could just write something like ">date" (or whatever, of course)?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually writing today's date (see above)

Additional context
I'm trying to keep track of the topic(s) I talk about in my classes, and it would be really useful to append the topic to the appropriate section of the class' "big note" using today's date as a marker. No need to link to daily notes (I mean: no [[2022-08-29]], no ">2022-08-29")

Start by reviewing the QuickAdd plugin's current append workflow and its handling of date or template substitutions. Confirm whether the requested syntax and output format are defined, then verify that appending text can insert today's date without creating a daily-note link.
