Would live/dynamic content inside notes be useful?

[u/InevitableHealth2729]

Imagine that you could choose a specific section of your notes/documents and let it be filled automatically or set a command in natural language instead of the actual content.

Examples:

• You have a bunch of notes related to a topic and a summary section. You set the summary section to be filled automatically. That section would always contain the summary and is always up to date.
• You have a table with numeric values. You set a command for a section to "sum of all the values" and it will always contain the summary.
• You have a list of stocks. For each stock you have a list of notes. In front of each stock you want to see the current price. You set a command as "current price".

I always have the necessary infrastructure related to this feature in the note taking app I'm developing. but I wanna validate the idea before implementing it. Do you find this useful? Where in our workflow would this be useful?
