This seems like it should be basic functionality but it’s not working.
When linking selected text to an existing note using Cmd+K, typing [[ inside the dialog to search for notes will surface the correct note in autocomplete — but upon selecting it, Obsidian creates an empty ghost file with [[ literally baked into the filename (e.g. [[notename.md) instead of resolving to the existing note. The link then points to this empty ghost file rather than the intended target.
This appears to be a conflict between the markdown link system (Cmd+K) and the wikilink system ([[). The [[ characters are being treated as literal filename characters rather than as a wikilink search prefix.
Has anyone found a reliable workaround for linking selected display text to an existing note without this ghost file behavior? And is there a bug report open for this?
