I’m a bit confused about how citations should be done in Obsidian, primarily using the fantastic ZotLit plugin [https://zotlit.aidenlx.top/], but also looking at the Pandoc Reference List plugin. ZotLit is able to insert citations as [@citekey]
in the text, and also create a file in <target_dir>/citekey
for the literature note. Pandoc can render these citations nicely. However, when I click on the links, or hover on them, it doesn’t work - Obsidian doesn’t seem to have a way to relate the link [@citekey]
to the file <target_dir>/citekey
.
Do these links work for other people using ZotLit? In the past, I used to use citations that were [[@citekey]]
, and make files called <target_dir>/@citekey
, which makes the links plain markdown. However, ZotLit seems quite opinionated, that the single bracket version is the way to go.
