@Alan,
I don't know if there is a way directly in Org to do what you want or
not, but for some reason my brain goes toward copying the text (either
directly from your agenda, or from Mikhail solution) into some other
buffer and then doing some macro or ELisp based post-processing. But
I really don't know if that's the Right Thing to do or not.
I am also not someone who uses one of these "daily journal" workflows,
so I can't help but wonder how you link these daily notes back to the
underlying project that generated the event on the agenda in the first
place. Becasue in my mind, I would jump from the agenda to the
underlying project or task and be making my notes in there directly.
Those linking considerations, in my mind anyway, would really dictate
the rest of the workflow.
Cheers,
TRS-80
