Additional information
On another note, I don’t like that I have to put internal links within quotation marks, or that tags are defined without hashtags, as shown here:
As it is now, I can’t edit link or tag properties conveniently in neither read-view nor edit-view. When I’m editing properties in read-view, I am forced to type the syntax for links manually. When I’m editing properties in the raw edit-view, obsidian hotkeys (“Add internal link”, “Add tag”) inserts strings that are incompatible (missing quotation marks and hashtags) with the provided format for properties.
“Properties” has a lot of potential, but should be semantically consistent with how links and tags have worked prior to it’s release.
