Generate workspace summary per category

Feature description

It would be pretty slick if the command took an argument. For example, :Neorg generate-workspace-summary some-category, then populate the files where metadata is found to match. I wonder if this could be done somehow in relation to #967, where you could set up ranges per category, and populate with the applicable summary data.

Help

Yes

Implementation help

I'm confident the work to be done is within core/summary/module.lua, but I'm unclear how the invocation of add_commands_from_table sets up the command to accept an additional argument in the command. I would need a lot of direction to be of much help.

I think this feature would be really neat.

I've taking a look at how one could implement it. I found that it seems to be rather simple to get it working with a few tweaks (see screenshot for git diff in my test)

However sadly the method to call generate-workspace-summary is not public and I am not sure how to tweak and edit Neorg commands. So I unsure how to complete the final step as you (@theherk) mentioned as well :)

I think it would be neat if the lua function is made public in the module such that one could send a list of categories to summarize (as suggested in my screenshot). I thought about making the Neorg command also accept a list of strings, however since categories are split by newline and NOT by space, then I dont see how the Neorg command would know how to differentiate categories:

eg. Neorg generate-workspace-summary awesome tiger - is this a single category (awesome tiger) or is it two categories (awesome and tiger)?
