[feature request] Provide a trigger phrase for dates as link AND just date #47

I find myself using non-linked dates just as much as and linked dates.

It would be nice if I could di something like @ltoday (thats an L in front of today) for a linked date and just @today for a non-linked date. I know there are commands, shortcuts, or just @today then select and hit [[... but that's a lot of steps :).

I would also really appreciate adding this setting. If I wasn't swamped, I'd submit a PR.

+1. Considering the shift-alias functionality is already baked in, hopefully this should be fairly easy to implement. Especially useful for dataview fields where a non-linked date dataview can parse by default is preferred.

+1, with the same use-case of dataview inline fields

(workaround for folks interested in this is to type your natural language date, select the text, and then run the command Natural Language Dates: Parse natural language date (as plain text) via command entry or hotkey)

edit: also +1 to utilizing alt/control/command similar to shift-alias vs a different trigger

+1. This is especially useful for use with dataview.
