Support date variables in message templates

Problem
Message templates cannot insert dynamic dates — users must manually type today's date or other date references each time.

Request
Add date variables (e.g., {{today.date}}, {{tomorrow.date}}) to message templates for automatic date insertion.

    This would be incredible handy!
    We frequently use message templates where we have text such as "… will be delivered on Monday, 21.11.24." or "… we'll get back to you latest by Monday, 21.11.24".

    Could have dynamic date variables e.g. like

    • {{date.today}}

    • {{date.next-week}}

    • {{date.in-3-days}}

    • {{date.in-2-weeks}}

    Even better if one could define formatting:

    • {{date.today(dddd, DD.MM.YYYY)}} => Monday, 21.11.2024

    It would be even better if there would be a variable "date.datepicker" which would open a mini-calendar datepicker to pick and insert a date or date + day in a desired formatting.

    • {{date.datepicker(dddd, DD.MM.YYYY)}} => Pick date, inserted as: Monday, 21.11.2024
