Aliases for note names

@mrwreckx Thanks for the response. If I understand correctly, this makes sure “mypage” always appears as “myalias” in links. My use case is almost the opposite. I want “mypage” to have a canonical spelling—which I’ll use in my notes—but refer to it in many different ways when citing translated works (e.g., “[[mypage|ye olde page]]”, “[[mypage|mypaige]]”).

This is already possible in Obsidian and backlinks work correctly. Unforutately, unlinked references to “mypaige” don’t show up though, because the software has no idea that “mypaige” is an alias for “mypage”. It’d also be nice to just be able to type [[mypaige]] and have it work.

I’m not sure if my use case is common. If not, I’ll probably just whip up some python of my own to manage the aliases for the purpose of finding unlinked mentions.
