Bases: Validate against forbidden characters in views

[aphistic]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new base.
2. Add a new view to the base with a name that includes a colon, such as “Foo: Bar”.
3. Go to another note and attempt to set “Foo: Bar” as your default view, such as “![[Something.base#Foo: Bar]]”.
4. Press Enter to “Accept” the “Foo: Bar” view in the selection list.
5. The embed will be updated to “![[Something.base#Foo Bar]]” and will not be found due to the missing colon.

I’m using the Vim plugin, and if I hit Escape to exit insert mode without accepting the drop-down, the default view will correctly show “Foo: Bar”.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

I tried this in the sandbox by creating Untitled.base and a “Foo: Bar” view, then embedding it in another note, and I still ran into the problem.

Expected result

I’d expect the embed to be ![[Untitled.base#Foo: Bar]]

Actual result

The embed ends up as ![[Untitled.base#Foo Bar]]

Additional information

[ariehen]

It happens for any characters that are forbidden or used in Obsidian links:

![[Untitled.base#View 1]]
![[Untitled.base#View [fix]]]
![[Untitled.base#View 2]]
![[Untitled.base#¯ _(ツ)_/¯]]

I guess either restrict those characters in view names with a warning, or show a warning that certain characters won’t work for embedded bases (but let you use them anyway).
