Create a block referencing highlighted text

Thanks for all the great work!

Use case or problem

It is easy to create and reference a single line block from another note, however if you want to reference multiple lines in a single block you need to create the reference manually.

Proposed solution

When multiple rows are highlighted, a command can be run that will automatically create a block reference to the selected text. That block reference would then show up in the auto-generated list when referencing from other pages.

Current workaround

Manually creating and referencing blocks

Yeah, i would like to have this feature too + Easy querying of those highlights and maybe even give those highlight some sort of tag

I’ve run into the same issue and have been able to use ‘Obsidian42-Text Transporter’ to compile a list of block references. Hope that helps. Block links
