ability to open up a little calendar to select/type a specific date
Sometimes we need to plan to do something by a certain date so it would be nice to have an ability to quickly see a calendar and determine what date to set it to.
Maybe when you start typing @calendar or @clndr (shows calendar starting with current month) or @april_ (to show calendar for April)
Perhaps the mini-calendar can be high level month view of our google calendar if that's what we are logged in as.

The iOS app has a nice pop-up dialog that appears when you start typing "@...". The same thing in the web/desktop versions would be excellent, so long as it supported keyboard navigation -- i DO NOT want a pop up that forces me to make mouse picks no matter what.

I had the same idea but would suggest adding these options as a Context menu for the '@' date text.
Users could Right click on the Date to adjust the date.
Right clicking brings up a context menu with a visual Calendar 'date picker' but also with an option to quickly preempt until: 'Tomorrow', 'Next Week', 'Next Month', 'Someday' etc -
