I use nvim to edit notes and want to make ID snippets like: ^main, ^theorem, etc. Assuming I don’t use the [[^^, or [[## search features, are there any problems with making IDs that are unique only in a note, but not globally?
BlockIds are used in connection with a note, and you can use the same id in different files without any problem.
If you on the other hand use the same id multiple times within the same document, the only effect will be that if you refer to it with a block reference you’ll only get one of the links.
Slightly related comment I am wondering why are these called blocks which is somewhat ambiguous to code blocks?
Anchor comes to mind as a better name for what it does. Whereas block implies a size / shape but these ^ids are just points in text stream with no explicit or implicit ending point later.
