Hello.
I created note with metadata. for examle:
---
Testtag: [[Test]]
---
and i try get all notes where Testtag=[[Test]]
list from "notes" where Testtag=[[Test]]
is not working. and:
list from "notes" where Testtag="[[Test]]"
doesn’t work either (Dataview: Query returned 0 results.)
how can i filter by link?
At this moment, for use of links in frontmatter fields quotation is required:
---
Testtag: "[[Test]]"
---
I got you fam!
What you need and I have no idea why this works but it does is the following dataview list:
```dataview
list
from "notes"
where contains(Testtag, "Test")
This will filter by link in your list.

This query worked because you filtered the field “Testtag” with the command contains(): without quotation [[Test]] is read as a string and, with contains, the filter checks if “Teste” is a substring (i.e., inside) the string.
If you have this in other note…
---
Testtag: This is a Test
---
the filter selects this note as well… or “Testtag: [[This is another Test]]”…
Without quotation the field is read as a string and the results may not be the desired.
True amigo, I just tried that and it worked just like you said, darn, I thought I had a work around on my hands. Thank you for showing me this issue, this could be a real filter problem. I think I am going to go with your method too now.
Happy Obsing!
