Bases: Extend functionality of view-referencing when embedding a .base in .canvas files

Use case or problem

When embedding a .base into an .md file it is possible to reference a specific view within the base using ![[File.base#View]].
This is not possible in a .canvas file and using the latter of the workarounds described below slows down the Base’s responsivity.

Proposed solution

Being able to use the same referencing syntax would be great for ease of use; but I don’t have strong opinions on how this is feature is added.

Current workaround

Options include:

  • Embedding a .base within a .canvas file and selecting the desired view
  • Embedding a .base within a .md note with the reference to the desired view in the .md note; then embedding that note within a .canvas file

Hi, not sure if you’re looking to embed a bases file into your canvas like with md files. But my workaround is to add a card/textbox (the option on the left) referencing the bases with the #specificview.

This is a screenshot I have, all the same base but views stay on the #specificview on reload/opening the canvas file

will be implemented in v1.9.5
