Block Link Plus

Block links + multi-line ranges + a Logseq-like outliner workflow for Obsidian: copy links/embeds/URIs to blocks & headings, create multi-line range blocks, and use blp-view (Dataview-backed) to query/render list blocks in scoped files.

🚀 Key Features

Multi-line Block References - Create precise range blocks with the ^abc123-abc123 format
Outliner (Logseq-like) + blp-view - Treat list items as blocks in scoped files; keep stable ^id + hidden system metadata; query/render with blp-view (Dataview required)
Journal Feed (Logseq-like Journals) - Open a marked anchor note to view/edit multiple Daily Notes in one continuous feed (uses core Daily Notes settings)
Inline Editing - Edit embedded blocks/headings directly in Live Preview (when enabled)
Smart Aliases - Content-based link descriptions when copying links

🆕 What's New in 2.0

Outliner becomes the main workflow (Logseq-like list blocks in scoped files)
Outliner edit mode supports core editor shortcuts (Ctrl+B, etc.) via an editor command bridge (strict allowlist)
Unified scope model: enabled folders/files + per-file frontmatter blp_outliner: true/false
blp-view aligns with the Outliner scope model (no more “silent cross-scope” reads)
Removed legacy Timeline / Time Section features

📋 Changelog

2.0.15

Fix: Outliner structural edits (Enter, Tab, Shift+Tab) now preserve viewport position instead of jumping back to the top of the file
Fix: Outliner focus restoration after structural edits now keeps long-outline editing stable near the bottom of the note

2.0.14

Fix: embedded Outliner cards in Journal Feed no longer show a nested inner leaf header, so the editor content aligns with the outer day header on narrow/mobile layouts
Fix: embedded Outliner cards in Journal Feed no longer keep the standalone Outliner bottom spacer, making long notes easier to position inside the feed
Fix: embedded Outliner cards in Journal Feed now use a tighter left gutter/bullet column, removing the oversized left boundary on phones

2.0.13

Fix: Outliner block editing now keeps focus/scroll stable when clicking tabs or working near the bottom of a long outline
Fix: Outliner Tab / Shift+Tab now preserve visible block order whenever possible instead of moving the block to the target parent's tail

2.0.12

Fix: hide TaskNotes widgets inside inline embeds to avoid extra UI noise in embedded editors

2.0.11

Improved: Journal Feed now mounts outliner-enabled daily notes as embedded Outliner views for a consistent editing experience
Fix: the embedded Outliner editor command bridge now follows real editor focus, so suggests and editor commands stay reliable inside Journal Feed embeds

2.0.10

Fix: Journal Feed now hides Outliner system tail lines in the embedded editors (same as Outliner)

2.0.9

Improved: Journal Feed now always discovers Daily Notes by recursively scanning the Daily Notes folder, using the configured date format (supports arbitrary subfolders)

2.0.8

Fix: Journal Feed now discovers Daily Notes stored in subfolders (e.g. format YYYY/M/YYYY-M-D)

2.0.7

New: Journal Feed view (anchor-only) for a continuous Daily Notes feed (Logseq-like Journals)

2.0.6

Improved: Outliner V1 structural undo/redo now covers split, multiline paste, indent/outdent, merge, and drag/drop
Improved: Esc now closes suggests first; otherwise it exits block edit mode or clears the current block-range selection

2.0.5

Fix: Outliner block-range selection now supports right-click on selected blocks to open the bullet menu (no handle aiming)

2.0.4

Outliner: drag-select across blocks now selects a block range (whole-block highlight)

2.0.3

Fix: Outliner multi-line blocks no longer render with extra blank lines (strict line breaks)

2.0.2

Fix: Outliner display-mode embed preview (![[...]]) now renders closer to the inline editor (spacing/indent; avoid clipped list markers)

2.0.1

Outliner: editor command bridge (core shortcuts like Ctrl+B) + strict plugin allowlist
New settings: fileOutlinerEditorCommandBridgeEnabled, fileOutlinerEditorCommandAllowedPlugins (keep core for core shortcuts)
