Copy existing file with templater

[craigloewen-msft]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The problem I have is that I already have existing notes with ever-updating content in them that I want to copy and then paste to a new note. I then update the content over time. For me this is a 'Todo' task, a 'Weekly goals' task, and multiple status reports. I want to copy the report to a new one that is named with the date, and then update it over time. This allows me to keep a historical record of my content.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like templater to be able to copy over existing notes. I think this would complement the 'create_new' feature well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe create_new can have a copy element? Seems more logical to have it as its own function.

I made a PR for this functionality here: #1398

Was able to solve this with this script:

### Notes
<%*
let fileStringMatch = 'Advanced Paste Weekly Sync';

const files = app.vault.getMarkdownFiles();
let latestFile = null;
let latestTime = 0;
console.log("Starting up", files);
for (const file of files) {
    if (file.basename.includes(fileStringMatch)) {
        console.log("Looking for this file");
        const stats = await app.vault.adapter.stat(file.path);
        if (stats.mtime > latestTime) {
            latestTime = stats.mtime;
            latestFile = file;
        }
    }
}

if (latestFile) {
    let content = await app.vault.read(latestFile);
    const lines = content.split('\n');
    const startIndex = lines.findIndex(line => line.trim() === '### Notes');
    if (startIndex !== -1) {
        const notesContent = lines.slice(startIndex + 1).join('\n');
        tR += notesContent;
    } else {
        tR += "No '### Notes' section found in the file.";
    }
} else {
    tR += "No file found with 'AdvancedPasteWeeklySync' in the title.";
}
%>
<% await tp.file.move("/General Meetings/" + tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") + " Advanced Paste Weekly Sync") %>
