Description of the new feature / enhancement

Enhance the New+ tool as follows:
If we create a template folder or file with a name that includes e.g. yyyy_mm_dd then this will be replaced with the current date.
If we create a template text file containing e.g. dd/mm/yyyy then this is replaced with the current date in the file.
Other tags for time, etc.

Scenario when this would be used?

It would make the already useful New+ much more powerful

Really like this idea, thank you for sharing!

Note: I think this might be the first issue related to this. but I just came across this one. There are a number similar issues that we could probably merge (I don't have permission for to do that).

I've started working on some variable support (date and time related, environment variables, and the parent folder name), and hope to release those in a future update. See also #35287 (comment)
