The 4th alternative could be: Copy the picker content control. Then
paste special as link, and as unformatted text. A LINK field will be

the date.
For a brief and glorious moment, I thought that was the answer to all my prayers ... but it doesn't update the links when the document is protected (not even when you print preview or close the document and re-open it), and there's no way to manually update them either.
How have Microsoft allowed such a shambolic mess of content controls to be released to the public? They may do lots of flashy stuff, but so many basic things that have worked with form fields since time immemorial are irreparably broken :-(
