BASES - This Day In History

Setup

Create a new "Base" - either directly in Obsidian or in the editor of your choice. Let's call it This Day in History.base.
Open the new file in your text editor.
Copy the code below and paste it into the editor.
Save the file.
Adapt the code in the text editor or open the file in Obsidian and adjust the filter settings there to match your environment.
Embed the Base in your daily notes.

Important

This is based on the assumption that your daily notes are named in the format YYYY-MM-DD. If they are not, you need to adapt the query accordingly.

Result

You will get a list of notes created on this day over the years. If you place it inside a callout, it looks like this:

BASES - This Day In History.webp|600
