Description

Hi, i am migrating form obsidian to foam, and i feature i am missing is to be able to change a file using a template.

Examples: i am taking quick notes and i would like to apply a "meeting template" format later on.

basically it would be adding the template at the top of the file, so we don't have to create a new file from template and copy paste everything in it.

Thanks.
