Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem more than a need or want. I like my daily note to reflect what I've done in the day and if that can include the notes I've worked on or written on a day that'd be great.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either a plugin or an automated plugin/behaviour where at the bottom of the daily note you've got a summary such as:

# June 28th 2024

some thoughts and scribbles from today...

---
Other notes of the day:
Edited: 
    - Holiday plan
    - Journal entry for this week
New: 
    - Meeting minutes for new feature
    - Idea for friend's birthday

and as the Canny request says it'd be great if the list of "notes of the day" includes backlinks and is populated automatically

Describe alternatives you've considered
manually adding the info, very sub-ideal particularly for edited notes (not newly created)
