Use case or problem
You can copy an Obsidian URL with a command. But there is no way to copy a Wikilink. It would be a great way to quickly grab a link from one note, and drop it into another.
Proposed solution
Add a bindable command, “Copy Wikilink”. It would copy the user’s Wikilink format, and obey the user’s settings for path format. (Shortest when possible, absolute, etc.)
A hotkey/command would even help to avoid having to know and search the name of a note. When adding a link via auto-complete search.
Current workaround (optional)
The different ways now:
- Drag from the file explorer
- Start typing a wikilink, and search for the name
- “Copy file path” command, and then manually reformat it from
Path/Note.mdto[[Note]]
