Requirement
A calendar UI element that allows me to select any date past, present or future, and when clicked takes me to the chosen day, creating the journal page for that day if it does not exist.
Motivation
I often want to make notes for days in the future. For example, I have a meeting on Thursday and I want to add some topics to discuss, and I want to note those down on the journal page for the coming Thursday.
I can do this by creating a link to thursday using the Date Picker and opening that page. I don’t want to create a link just to use for navigation - it clutters the backreferences and the current day, and doesn’t serve any purpose in my notes. If I want to look through upcoming days, having to create a list of links to future pages becomes very clunky, especially if I want to do that every day.
I don’t want to use a plugin such as Journals Calendar as I use my phone/tablet just as much as my desktops and need the same functionality there, although that plugin exactly implements this feature request.
This feature exists in Roam and I found it very useful.

- Go to a specific date (even in the future) - I think this is just asking for the
/date pickerfunction - Dates in the future - this is close, I think it’s about generating a list of future dates, which would make things slightly easier but still requires creating notes just for navigation purposes
- Create Journal Pages For Future Dates...That Appear The Journal - I think this is asking for it to be possible to create journal pages for future dates, and that can already be done
