Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

/dln inserts a link to the current date note with a wikilink [[date]]. This makes it show up in the daily note like this:

Using >date instead, will link it without the date itself in the daily view:

Would be nice if this was settable to reduce noise in the daily log

Research direction

Start by locating the DateAutomations implementation for the /dln command and inspect how it inserts the current-date wikilink. Determine where the choice between [[date]] and >date should be configured; done means the setting changes the generated daily-note link and both display forms can be verified.
