A marker system to log points of interest

Hey, so as a content creator I need to record lots of live content then return to it for a reedit later. I need a way to log important moments live so I can return later for edits on my Davinci Resolve system.
Is there any way we can get something like this - even if its just a TC timestamp with the live-contents name & date?
Maybe it would work by stamping select triggers and logging the timestamp.
For example:
I will record a two hour interview, during the interview I am switching it live, lets say I have two trigger keys for making cuts from A CAM to B CAM, both triggers perform a simple cut, however trigger two also logs a timestamp on a record for the live stream. When I'm preforming normal cuts purely to keep the interview flowing on the live stream I use trigger 1; but when the guest says something particularly noteworthy I use trigger 2.
Weeks later I can access the recorded content with uncut master shots, I import them into my NLE and use my log sheet to find those most important moments so I can make my short form content.
Thanks for reading

Seems to me that a solution would be to use a program like auto-hotkeys that would trigger an entry in a text file that would include the time (calculated from the start of recording) and a descriptive line. I would find a friendly developer to come up with a solution for you. Write your requirements in a user story.
