For collections of notes with embedded PDF documents, to be able to display the first page (or selectable page, and/or a scrollable window of many pages) of the PDF indicated in a frontmatter key as cards in a Base.
Proposed solution
Similar to the new 1.9.3 cards feature that displays an image.
Ideally, indicate the page number to display, like “[[PDFfile.pdf#page=3]]”
I have a large collection of research “reviews” where each note contains detailed notes, excerpts, and quotes from library books. Almost all of them link to a file, a scan of the physical book, and I’ve been thrilled to have quickly figured out how to write a formula to get a link to the “scan” file. However, only those which happen to be a PNG or JPG are able to be displayed as a cover.
It’d be great to be able to use pdf files with the image function!
