Ability to Name / Rename starred searches

Feature archive
13

Another workaround/solution:
Utilize url scheme (in html link or markdown link or …):

[search name](obsidian://search?vault=vault%20name&query=MOC)

References:

This will require to first open the file (which can be starred) and then click link within that file to execute the search.

Related feature request / plugin idea:

(more general) Use of url scheme could be complemented by some “redirect” plugin (to be requested/created) that searches YAML front-matter for “redirect” field and automatically opens it’s value and closes just opened file. This would be effectively implementation of “named searches” and many other features.

redirect: |
  obsidian://search?vault=vault%20name&query=MOC
---
# named search with annotation
This file will be accessed when "Redirect" plugin is disabled. 
Otherwise, attempt to open this file will lead to executing search.
