Yes

Feature value

No response

Additional context

Emacs' orgmode has support for capturing properties (which are then removed from the capture body and placed in the properties drawer). I wanted to implement storing capture dates in my notes and noticed the syntax is not supported in nvim-orgmode yet.

Research direction

Read the linked Emacs Org-mode documentation for capture properties, then trace nvim-orgmode's capture implementation and how capture dates are handled. Done means the documented property syntax is recognized, removed from the capture body, and stored in the properties drawer.
