 The Calendar plugin supports a 'diary' this allow entries to be created 
for future days (so creation date cannot be used to find a journal), also 
this plugin was written before Journal was added to tiddlywiki5 - and so it 
was updated to support the journal formats.

Adding time to journals means that a number of journal tiddlers will share 
the same date - this means that some sort of indexing will need to be added 
- maybe if the user hovers the mouse over a date a drop down menu could 
appear showing all the journals on that date allowing the user to select 
one.

Finding all the journals on a particular date will involve a little more 
logic (some simple regex I think).

I am busy with other things at the moment and have no plans to work on this 
plugin in the near future - I would be more that happy for you to add some 
more functionality (a pull request?)
cheers
