I’d like to file a header that has a date-stamp to the appropriate org-roam-dailies file. If file does not exist for date, then an org-roam-dailies file is created.

I am aware of the following but none seem to apply readily to what I want to do:

- `(org-roam-dailies-calendar--file-to-date FILE)`. But it seems to take a FILE, not a HEADER.
- `org-roam-refile` but it does not take a parameter.
- `org-roam-dailies-find-date` finds “the daily-note for a date using the calendar, creating it if necessary”. But, I’d like to feed the function a date programatically.

I created a function to allow me to insert a linked reference to a specific “daily” file. That might get you close to what you’re looking for. More info [here](https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/issues/1587).
