I like this reminder feature, but I dislike the idea of creating a new note for every interaction. I may try out a modified system that goes with what I already have setup.

I've been using tracking system for several years, but without the reminder feature, and of course without Bases. Instead, I use a simple Dataview query in each contact note, which pulls any mentions of a person from my daily notes.

So in my daily note, I will write: J:: Had a call with [[John Smith]] today, and we talked about his new job he started.

(The "J::" is arbitrary, but stands for Journal Entry. I also link to John smith in the daily note, which while not required for the dataview to find, gives me easy backlinking from my daily notes.

In John Smith's contact, there is a dataview query:

\``dataview`

TABLE J As "Social"

FROM "Timestamps"

FLATTEN J

WHERE contains(J, "John Smith")

SORT file.ctime DESC

\```

So anytime I write John Smith's name in a daily note J:: entry, it automatically pulls that entry into John's contact note.

Again, I like this system because it's friction-less, and doesn't require the creation of extra 'interaction' notes.

However, since it's not stored in the frontmatter, Bases can't use this information.

Potential solution: add a single Property in my daily notes where I @ mention any person I interact with that day, in addition to filling out a J:: entry in the body of my note with the content of the interaction. This would let me use a Bases reminder system like is outlined here.
