I'm still tinkering with this. 

Thanks to Mark for suggesting adding the Timezone to the sameday filter. 
That works, but I can't find it documented anywhere. On the DateFormat page 
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#DateFormat> "TZD" is mentioned as Timezone format 
option but in use it renders as "-5:00" not "05". I've found that only "05" 
works when used in the sameday operator, e.g.:

<<list-links filter:"[sameday:created[2021031305]!is[system]]">>

This works (by works I mean that sameday lists tiddlers created on the, er, 
same day).

I'm obviously not capable of understanding documentation, because the only 
way I can find to show a list of tiddlers created on the same day as the 
current tiddler is something like this:

<$set name="thedate" value=<<now YYYY0MMDD>>>
<<list-links filter:"[sameday:created[$(thedate)$05]!is[system]]">>
</$set>

Note the hardcoded "05". Also, this seems somewhat convoluted. There *must* be 
a better way to just include the YYYYMMDD formated date as part of the 
filter operator without setting a variable, right? And it's probably 
something obvious and simple that I've overlooked. I get confused around 
"<<foo>>" vs "$foo$" vs "$(foo)$" vs "[[foo]]" and I cannot figure out how 
to just put the "now YYYY0MMDD" bit right in the filter.
