Block reference

Feature archive

To piggyback on @ja_rule’s suggestion, one way of referencing blocks that currently exists is to enclose text in an h6 (######) ‘block’:

###### If you dislike folding
If you dislike folding for whatever reason, it can be turned off in Settings.
######

###### A really great quote
> Obsidian rocks!
> \- Anonymous
######

The second ###### acts as a terminator to delineate the block.

Then use obsidian.css to hide h6 (whoever used an h6 with a straight face though, really?):

h6 {
    display: none;
}

Using the first few words of the sentence/block in the h6 heading works nicely when autocomplete kicks in during link creation (as opposed to using something like an ID).

I’ve never had the need to ‘title’ a block reference, so it seems fine for my use that the h6 is used as a reference, but never rendered.
