I can see your point. Simple timestamp matching by regexp disregarding timestamp objects might be useful. However, I do not think that matching should be via timestamps in such a case. Rather it should be even more lax - agenda may match anything date-looking (with or without brackets). A specialized regex agenda matcher with regex constructed using current agenda date. Maybe we can introduce a new agenda view? Or maybe a special agenda mode, similar to org-agenda-include-inactive-timestamps? Best, Ihor
