As this is related to the (inline) automatic update of backlinks (Automatic/inline update of links to headers and blocks when they are modified (no extra dialog window) - #62 by ces), this could solve 2 problems at once:
- Auto update heading internal links without user interaction via modal window.
- Counters/markers for heading/block references (as in LogSeq or Roam), like @monospace and others mentioned.
So, I just got told that this needs to be alive in order to be solved. Once again, devs are pointing to the half-baked solution (the modal window) as a “solution” (workaround, I’d say). Here’s the original conversation in Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1do0u5c/dynamic_links_plugin/
Let’s make Obsidian linking system more robust! It’s about time.
