How is this different to a TODO Plugin?
For years I've been using custom strings like @TODO or #COMPLETE to create some sort of "bookmark" and fill it later with context relevant information when I eventually revisit the note. So a TODO plugin doesn't quite fit this workflow and may impose additional workflow & formatting restrictions.
The goal of this plugin is to be non-invasive to the note's markdown & structure and once the placeholder has been replaced, there should be no trace of it existing in the first place. So basically a custom highlighter with some bells and whistles
