Create references for headers or blocks by drag-and-drop

Is it possible to extend this plugin functionality to non-bullet point blocks?

Also when I try to move a block to a new line it adds a indentation to it and its children (bullet points). If you change that would be great. thank you

Regarding first request - yes, itā€™s possible, but need some extra work as Obsidian donā€™t treat paragraphs as blocks.

Regarding second request I have task, you can watch it, soon will be fixed:

what do you mean? in obsidian paragraph (\n\n) equals a block actually

Wondering about this request, is it something that is being worked on or at least planned?

Thank you for this. I was also looking for a solution.

+1 for a drag/drop feature. None of the plugins so-far offer this, though (Drag and Drop Blocks) gets us close. But I donā€™t tend to write in bullet points.

My use-case is for essay building, where I want to create long-form content out of pieces of other content in my Obsidian. This necessitates being able to drag a sentence out of one document and into another. Itā€™d be so nice if I then didnā€™t have to try to keep track of keeping multiple copies up to date, but could just change the original.

Gently bumping this thread, has there been any further discussion on this?

This would be great, it seems strange that you canā€™t drag search results and get an embed or link to the search result you dragged

Would love for this drag-and-drop feature to be a possibility from search results. Bumping this to keep it going.

I support this request. Would be a very useful and intuitive feature to have :+1:

In the meantime, these solutions may help:

  1. Copy Block Link and Block Link Plus add commands to copy link to (or embed of) a block when right-clicking on block.
  2. Text Transporter and Carry-Forward add various commands to ease the process of moving blocks between notes with references back to source.
  3. Script to copy link to block as footnote, for Templater.
  4. Scripts to copy link to current note that can be added to the file menu, for Templater.
