I have two suggestions that might be worth considering; I think a lot of people would find them useful.

Enter some text and save it to a specific folder, but have a link to that note automatically appear in the Today's Journal. This way, a note is created, and a link to it is generated in the Today's Journal at the same time.

Another issue: when I create a new note, Obsidian generates the note, but I can’t find it in search results. It also doesn’t automatically navigate to the newly created note. I have to search for it manually.
