Your Opinion: Should Daily Notes link to themselves or the day they were created?

Hello Obsidian Community, I would like to hear your opinion on the following matter:

Background

In my daily notes I use a comment block after Yaml, in which I link to yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's daily notes. The daily note links to itself, because all my notes are linked to the daily note of the day on which they were created and it just stuck, when I edited my default template to create a daily note template.

Issue

Sometimes I create a daily note for a specific day a couple days later, and thus my memory is not as good as on the evening of the day in question.

Proposal

Now I figured that it might be sensible to record that information by linking daily notes not necessarily to themselves via the today key, but to the daily note of the day, when I actually did write down what happened on that day.

What is your opinion on that? Any real benefit here? Would that be worse? Do you have any other input?

Interested to hear your thoughts!
