Github@ Symbol Linking
Adds the ability to link using any symbol (e.g. @) in Obsidian. Can limit linking to specific folders, like People/, or map specific characters to open specific folders, like $ to open References/ and @ to open People/ for more information see release 2.0 notes.
Supports aliases (nicknames for a file) that you can set in the properties/metadata of a note via the alias or aliases field.
Settings
- Limit symbol links to only source links from specific directories, like your
People/directory. - Create a new note from a template in a specified directory if no symbol link is found.
- As of
v2+you can specify symbols to create notes from specific templates in given directories.
- As of
- Turn on compatibility mode to enable symbol linking when plugins that show suggestions like the Tasks plugin are enabled.
- Optionally include the linking symbol in the final link text, e.g.
[@evan](./evan.md)as opposed to[evan](./evan.md)
