Feature Request: Ability to create file based on highlight #763

Description

@kapitanluffy

It would be nice to have a built-in way of creating a file based on the highlighted text.

For more context, let's say I have a list of tasks and I want to add details to these tasks.

So instead of creating a new file and manually naming it then backlinking it in my tasks.md, I would simply highlight the task (e.g. My Task for Saturday) and have it create a file called my-task-for-saturday.md

Additionally, it would be nice to make it configurable with

  • how the file names are generated (should it use kebab, camel or spaces)
  • where should the file get created? root dir by default? should we prompt to allow relative naming (e.g. my-tasks-subdir/my-tasks-for-saturday.md)
  • support for templates? maybe even varying templates based on highlighted text's pattern?
