You cannot reliably.

This implementation is only tangentially related to a "last note". You
want to introduce some syntax to display the value a given property,
here SUMMARY. But `org-add-note' is not the only way to add a note. 

Again, on a given document, you can only guess what is the "last note".
This is not reliable enough to extend the syntax.
