Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Yes

Orgmode link

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/advanced-searching.html#querying-timestamps

A few words should be said here about querying timestamps contained in the following properties: DEADLINE, SCHEDULED, TIMESTAMP (the first active timestamp in an entry), and TIMESTAMP_IA (the first inactive timestamp in an entry). 
Feature value

I want to make some custom agenda commands that deals with headlines that have a DEADLINE or SCHEDULED or timestamp (<2025-01-01>). For example:

  • I want an agenda of today that only shows elements that have any date set for today
  • I want to gather elements that have a deadline, scheduled, or date in the next 10 days

I don't know if it's currently supported in a way that I haven't thought of, but TIMESTAMP looks a clean solution

Research direction

Start with the linked Orgmode advanced-searching documentation and compare its TIMESTAMP, DEADLINE, and SCHEDULED behavior with the repository's current search support. Trace where advanced-search properties are recognized, then define completion as allowing TIMESTAMP queries for the today and next-10-days agenda cases described in the issue.
