How to quickly covert an org-roam-dailies item to new org-roam node

How To
1

Sometimes after quickly adding something in org-roam-dailies, I found out it more suitable to keep it as an independent node in org-roam, is there any quick and simple workflow to do this beyond just copying and pasting the whole subtree to a new org-roam node?

Have you tried org-roam-extract-subtree?

Convert current subtree at point to a node, and extract it into a new file.

you created this function. it can optionally receive a filter-function (similar to org-roam-node-find). It uses org-refile and refiles the current node and its children to the desired destionation. In theory you can change the call to org-roam-node-find to remove the requirement that the node exists before it is created. In my case, I usually file to a node already existing.

(defun dmg-org-roam-refile (&optional p-visit filter-function)
  "refile current node to a project using the tags of the node.
Possible candidates must have at least one tag in common with current node

If P_VISIT is t, place point a destination.

FILTER-FUNCTION allows you to narrow the potential destinations. See
org-roam-node-find for an explanation of how it works.
