An easy way to change how internal links are displayed?

What I’m trying to do

There is an easy way to add links between notes like “[[Another note title]]” - after starting with “[[” and writing anything else there’s a search dropdown. However, more often than not I want the result to be like this: “[[Another note title|another note title]]” - so the displayed version starts with lowercase. Is there an easy way to do it without doing it manually myself (copying the text, adding “|”, pasting; lowercasing could still be manual)?

Things I have tried

I’m using the Vim plugin and I recorded a macro to do it for me, but the macros aren’t saved and I have to re-record it every time I turn Obsidian on, which is a bigger hassle than the time saved.

Hope there’s some way. Thanks in advance for pitching in and have a great day!

You could create an alias in your Frontmatter. Then obsidian will suggest it as an option when you’re typing the link.

aliases:
  - another note title

Obsidian ignores case for internal wiki-links. So just write [[another note title]]!

(or if you’re lazy, pick “Another note title” from the dropdown and edit the first letter.)

This isn’t a general solution for every time you want to slightly rename the displayed text, but it’ll work for the one example you gave.
