Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by examining how the plugin exposes JavaScript to Obsidian and how Canvas pages load notes; the work is complete only when a documented, working way to display a random note in a Canvas is available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello,
I am a complete beginner with Obsidian and would like to be able to automatically display a random note in my Canvas (which I use as my home page).
This would allow me to update a note on a daily basis.
I tried using Copilot (which advised me to install JS Engine, but it did not provide me with a solution that works.
Do you have a solution to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.
Nicolas
