Feature Request: Week (and month) notes format

Hi,

Thanks for the great plugin. I would like to suggest an option to parse @this week @next week into proper link to weekly notes (not everyone use this concept, but many do, I think).

More specific:

• I have weekly and monthly notes.
• The format is configured in Periodic Notes plugin. For me I use gggg-[W]ww for weekly notes.
• Everytime I type @next week, I would think about linking it to the next week’s note.
• So I have there is an option to define that for parsing in nldates.

I also understand that not everyone will need this concept, so a fall back to default will be needed.

Hope to see this in your future updates of the plugin. Thanks, NA

I’ve opened #102 which adds support for week formats, in the form of a ‘week:’ prefix which can be applied to any date specifier, based on the already existing implementation of time: prefix.

When “Add dates as link” is enabled, weekly links are created.

Hi!

Thanks for this convenient plugin. I was about to write a same issue for the same feature!

I would suggest to implement this option based on Periodic Notes plugin. Namely, there is a “Format” value to fill to have the expected file name format. For example: Weekly Notes have default format gggg-[W]ww in order create weekly note such as 2022-W13.

So, this parsing option for week and month notes can be done by replacing the first day of the month ( or week) when using @this month (respectively @this week) by the according note reference. The “Format” reference could be set in Options of Natural Language Dates plugin in order to match Periodic Notes Format ( or any other plugins that have this feature that I’m not aware of).

Thanks again for your time and effort writing this plugin. It’s highly appreciated.
