HI All. starting to work on short videos to cover features of Obsidian42 - Text Transporter.
Here are the copy block and replace block with text commands. https://twitter.com/TfTHacker/status/1438881713153794054
one more for selection: https://twitter.com/TfTHacker/status/1438895408038690817
This is fantastic! I stopped the first, introductory video in this thread at the quickadd function and promptly installed the plugin. Works like a charm. Half a day in, and I have been able to do some housekeeping and organisation that I have put off for a while.
Added another small video for quick capture
another video for the core feature:
Great plugin. I put together a simple IOS shortcut to launch the quick capture modal. I map it to the triple tap on the back of my phone. It needs advanced Obsidian URI to work.

Friends, this plugin is now released. Your feedback is warmly welcome!
Hello! I love your plugin, is just what I’ve looking for 
. Just one request, could be possible to implement the option “Push line/selection to another file as a link”? This would be a great addition to the block embed feature, sometimes what I want is just the connection to the block. Thanks a lot!
good idea! please post an issue on GitHub. Though there may be one already
Is this plugin still being maintained?
It needs some love, and I have it on my list
Cool, thanks for creating and maintaining it.
One feature that I would find helpful would be to allow pushing text into a new file (not just one that already exists).
For example, I use PLB a lot when I go through notes from an event, video, or some longer note that needs to be broken down into more atomic notes. So when I have identified a block that I want to turn into a note of itself, I first need to manually create that new note and then embed that block into it using PLB.
Perhaps you can borrow some code from the Note Refactor plugin which can already create new notes on the go. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support transcluding the block in the new note, only the other way around: push the text into the new note and then transclude it in its original place.
Another small thing I’d like to mention is that I found the prompt in the modal confusing when it says “Select the line from the file”. What threw me off was that it says “from the file” when I was just trying to push something into a file. Eventually, I figured it out, but I changed the modal to just say “Select the line”. I would have changed it to say “Select the line where to transport the text”, but it seemed that the code was more generic than that so that it would become misleading in other use cases.
Finally, since I usually want to insert the text at the bottom of the target file, I would like to have an – End of file – item preselected at the top of the modal, just above where it nos says “-- Top of file --”:
Is it possible for you add option that it can paste text as reference the same way as it is on Logseq? Here is an example"

At the top is just a plain text and I copied reference of this text and pasted at the bottom. It can be pasted like this anywhere, even in the middle of the sentence.
When I click on pasted reference there is ref number shown:

I’d like to be able to paste it like this to a few predefined files.
For example I select text and right mouse click and I have option: “copy as reference to file folder/todo.md”
This plugin does exactly what I am looking for… But it doesn’t work in a canvas. For whatever reason none of the commands do anything when accessing a file through a canvas. Would love if this could be fixed (:
