So sorry it did not work for me even when I updated to 5.3.6.
This works but it puts the styling in the field not in the macro, which makes mass styling impossible, so it is not a solution either:
\define diarydets(i,tiddlerDate,rawDate,tags)
$i$<br>
<$list filter ="[tag[Journal]search:journal-date[$rawDate$]!is[system]]"><$link>{{!!journal-day-summary}}</$link><br>{{!!journal-entry-thumbnail}}</$list>
\end
Field content:
<<image-basic img:"Journal Pics and Vids/2025/2025-06-08_1310_08974.jpg" width:"20%" align:"" caption:"" tooltip:"" alt:"">>
