Right now we can use {{last_highlighted_date}} in our file name config. I use this, because I want to name my notes in obsidian by the date I read the document instead of naming them by their {{published_date}}.
This however, will naturally cause new highlights that come in on another day to end up in a separate file. E.g.:
This is not ideal, because I will need to switch between different notes. Also the 2nd (3rd, 4th,..) note won't have a frontmatter header.
I don't care so much about the exact date I finished reading the document, I just want to organize my notes by the approximate time I read them. That is why I want suggest the introduction of a new variable called {{first_highlighted_date}}. This will always be the date of the first highlight that exists right now for the given document.
Depending on what is easier to implement this date could either be fixed permanently or would update in case you deleted the first note you created for the document.
Crucially the effect would be that however many highlights you add on following days, they would all be synced to the same note in obsidian.
