Use case or problem
As a neurodivergent user that manages a knowledge base/second brain/coping mechanism in Obsidian
I want the ability to link headings within a topic as aliased content
So that I don’t have to write out the alias every time and can find new connections and generalisations between topics I may have missed
Proposed solution
- It should be possible to assign an alias to a heading
- Given a heading already exists in a note, when a user enters a new alias, then an option to add an existing heading should appear
- Given an alias has been attached to a heading, when there are missing outgoing or backlinks to this head, then suggestions should provided in the existing pane as with current functionality
- Given an alias has been attached to a heading, when the user types [] and an associated alias, then it should offer an autocomplete to the heading as per the existing functionality
Solution ideas:
- Add a selection to the properties tool when typing an existing heading into the alias field
- Add a pane that allows mapping of aliases to headings
Current workaround (optional)
Every time a topic is being readdressed/mentioned, I currently have to type out [[Note#Heading|Alias]] which is laborious
