The syntax OP would like to have featured would be more aligned with [[any-kind-of-link-to-anything|aliasA|aliasB|aliasC]] or perhaps nested aliases such as: [[Topic[[Definition]]]], where [[any-kind-of-link-to-anything]] would link to each [[aliasA]] and [[aliasB]] and [[aliasC]], creating and/or appending/linking each alias with all others and to the original file [[any-kind-of…]], as well.
The ability to alias liberally and with limited friction provides a sort of organic (and therefore useful) disambiguation-anator.
Kind of like inline synonyms.
There is a solid disconnect between capability and user-needs as this is a #feature-requests which a sizeable subset of the userbase keeps asking for, yet despite best attempts at explaining, remains lacking or without adequate solution.
Perhaps Obsidian “is not the PKM we are looking for.” However, it seems as though this is a potential feature squarely in-line (#puns) with Obsidian’s (or a plugin’s) capabilities…
See similar topics:
- Nesting functional links within link names
- Plugin to match pre-existing wiki links to pre-existing aliases of the same name
- Disambiguiting mutiple files with the same name
- Differentiate between navigation links and relationship links
- Auto-completion for certain frontmatter keys (aliases, tags, etc)
- Aliases for note names - #80 by argentum
- Can I Replicate This Critical Roam Research Feature?
- Magic, "One Click," Dynalist search results—Yes!
- Handling nested links (different from nested tags)
Is there another way of understanding this?
It feels like an artifact of the Editor/Preview dualism at the core of Obsidian’s design?
