It would be great if Obsidian could handle block reference similar to Roam Research. That would allow users to reference smaller-than-header chunks (block) of another file. If the referred block changes, it would change in all files that make a reference to it. This feature is like the stage 3 of t…

It looks that in the editing mode, the block reference will not be readable.

I assume that will improve once we have the WYSIWYG editor.

@GLight : that makes sense, a block reference is just a link, after all.

I didn’t see this one coming! So what else have the devs been silently working on? Cold fusion?

This must be how they do it in Roam. Funny as hell, though.

if you use [[note_name#title]] rather than ![[note_name#title]], in both the editing mode and the preview mode, you get a readable content which is self-described. But with something like this, well, I guest the ![[]] or [[|some text]] are the only possible ways to use it :joy: Perhaps, I’d like to…

@GLight : I have not had any readable content with any form link in Edit mode. Unless, we’re not talking about the same thing. The only thing I get is the text of the link itself, and only in Preview is rendered, whether that be a link with or without a ! in front.

You just remind me about a bug that I has reported . Since the block reference is a link to a line in the other note, maybe the insiders can do me a favor to see if the bug is also valid for block reference. create a note-a In the note-a, create a block reference link to an item in a list within no…

Oh, I understand. As one can always give a name to a link by [name](link), the text of the link is not have to be readable. It seems that I confused [[]] with []().

In the example I posted, the todo’s block ID was randomly generated. You can also append your own to the end of a line. ^likethis I could then write ![[this note#^likethis]]* to get at it, and you can use custom IDs to infer what the item contains while in edit mode.
