Yes, you are correct, file+datetree does not do this.  A while ago I
suggested a file+datetree+headline type function be added, but it was not
received well.
I attempted a function for use with file+function, but couldn't get it
quite working.
I'm not quite sure how to use org-map-entries to find headlines?
Thanks!
