I want there to only be one capture template when I'm making new links, so that I don't get distracted. However, when I'm explicitly telling Roam to make a new node, it would be a shame if there was only one option. To fix this, I'll add new variables representing the /default/ templates to use in situations where I don't want to have to choose.
I want there to only be one capture template when I'm making new links, so that I don't get distracted by a prompt. However, when I'm explicitly telling Roam to use node capture, it would be a shame if there was only one option. To fix this, I can split my capture templates into three contexts: a default template for when not explicitly capturing, a list of templates for capturing on a node that already exists, and the regular list for when the node is new.

(We don't distinguish between new and existing dailies, since dailies are meant to follow a single format, which can just be covered by the default template.)
With those variables created, we can define our templates.

*** TODO Tweaks
When finding a node with ~org-roam-node-find~, the universal argument to open it in another window doesn't work when the node is new. We can fix this with an override:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cl-defun ~/org-roam-node-find (&optional other-window initial-input filter-fn pred &key templates)
(let ((node (org-roam-node-read initial-input filter-fn pred)))
