The title is not what the OP is asking for.
The OP is asking for obsidian to show similar notes if he tries to create a similar note. This feature has been implemented in two ways:
- In a note you can use double square brackets and as you type inside those brackets obsidian will try to auto-complete from notes or links from your vault.
- In a new tab you can hit open and type and Obsidian will try to auto-complete from files inside your vault.
It does not check other files exist in this way:
- When you cannot create a new note, obsidian only tells you if the files exists in the same folder if you try to create a similar one.
- It will not say same file name exists elsewhere when you create a new file. you have to use the first two methods.
I am here because I want Obsidian to tell me if my internal link has a note, visually. perhaps through a theme, or CSS I can drop in. SOLVED - Change the colour of internal links that do not have notes - #3 by ariehen
