Block Reference ID Generation Question

Help
2

There are actually two ways like the documentation says.

  1. Method 1: Obsidian auto-generates block ids when you refer to a block. The way to refer to a block is to first link to a file like so [[testFile then press the carrot symbol, [[testFile^. Now Obsidian will show a list of all the blocks in the file testFile. When you select one of these blocks Obsidian will automatically create a block ID for that block.
  2. Method 2: You can navigate to the file which contains the block you want to reference (in our case it is testFile) and then at the end of the block you can add your custom block ID ^your-alpha-numeric-ID-here
