Actually, as I was trying to construct a new thread to catch this use-case, I found out that it already works as you describe. The text you pasted is in a note on the left. A test note in Edit mode is on the top-right, showing the embedded block from the raw text. That note is Previewed in the bottom-right:

Thank you very much for this discussion! It seems that you are right again in my particular example, sorry about that! I should have checked that in advance.

But, as you can see in the screenshot below, this seems to not always be the case.

The autocomplete menu shows three different blocks.
Why could that be? I am not really sure what the rules are anymore.

Thanks again!

I am looking for exactly what OP requested. Any solution since October?

Yes, this feature would be great also for referencing blocks of paragraphs while keeping blank lines between them. For example, my current use case is to have templates for emails and I would like to compose different ones depending on the recipient. I don’t want a paragraph without blank lines, because I want to copy an email template ready to paste directly instead of adding each blank line.

But it could also be useful to have quickly readable composed notes.

Is there a solution for this?

Yes: use heading links.

#26

Mmm, I think it is not enough. With alias I can’t change the real header if I make a ![[]]. I only can change how the link [[]] is visualized, but not the content if I make ![[]].

#27

Sorry, I don’t follow. Do you have an example?

#28

I hope there is no error. Read Summary to understand.

Thanks for putting that together. It is still a little hard to follow, but I think I understand.

You want to include two or more blocks in one embed without showing a header. This is possible: hide the header from your embeds via a CSS snippet. See Theme: Obsdn-Dark-Rmx (now with Light & Dark) - updated 2020-09-11 - #9 by Klaas.

As for the second challenge, it’s true that the heading solution requires adding arbitrary headings to groups of blocks. I think you could create a “fake” header using e.g., H6s (######) that you hide in preview with CSS (e.g., h6 { display: none } as a workaround. Otherwise, you will have to wait until if-and-when this feature request is implemented.

@ryanjamurphy, having just searched for a solution to my problem (wanting to embed multiple blocks but not show a heading) I will try your work around for now.
Is there a feature request for manual defining of blocks that I can vote on? Thanks.
