Use case or problem
I have been doing more and more of my writing in Obsidian and this need is related to that. Very often I have 2 notes open at the same time on 2 panes (e.g., a draft and the notes related to it, let’s just call them “draft” and “notes”). I would often have, e.g., section 1 of “draft” linked to section 1 of “notes”, section 2 of “draft” linked to whichever section of “notes”, etc.
I really like that we can now link to a specific section or even paragraph of a document. But if jumping back and forth between 2 documents, it does not work as well as it could.
Right now, if I click on the link in “draft”, “notes” will either open in the same pane or in a new one. If I do the “jumping” multiple times, I will either end up with a lot of extra panes (not great on a small laptop), or have to close them manually.
Proposed solution
If a file is already open, then a link pointing to a section of it should just have it jump to that place in the pane it is already opened in.
Current workaround (optional)
just close the “extra” panes.
