Hi, I think I had exactly the same problem when trying to add previous/next links to my daily journal.

I tried to access this filename in a few ways and didn’t succeed. But I used a template to evaluate it only when the file is shown, and then if I don’t want it to be templated anymore (for example to get red links), I use the bake button in the corner.

The `escapeDirective` call is needed to evaluate it when shown, not when created.

* * *

This is at the top of my `Library/Journal/New Page/Daily Note` (the links are Polish for “yesterday tomorrow”)

````auto
```template
[[{{escapeDirective('pageAddDays(@page.name, -1)')}}|wczoraj]] [[{{escapeDirective('pageAddDays(@page.name, 1)')}}|jutro]]
```

````

> **Definition of pageAddDays for completion**

> ````auto
> ```space-script
> silverbullet.registerFunction("pageAddDays:", (page, days) => {
> const parts = page.split("/");
> let date = parts[parts.length - 1];
> const plainDate = Temporal.PlainDate.from(date);
> const offsetDate = plainDate.add(Temporal.Duration.from({ days: Number(days) }));
> const result = parts.slice(0, -1);
> result.push(offsetDate.toString());
> return result.join("/");
> });
> ```

Sorry I didn’t adapt it, I only have a moment to paste my current code. I hope that it still shows the approach to help with your solution 🙂
