Hi,
I am new to Obsidian and I’m a little stuck.
I want to be able to create tasks and then have them at my fingertips when I talk with someone. Ideally I would have some simple meeting notes:
XYZ Meeting
participants:: [[Maria Gonzales]] [[Bill Jones]]
[ ] Task I need to do #todo/for [[Maria Gonzales]] [[Bill Jones]]
[ ] Task I need someone else to do #todo/from [[Bill Jones]]
Then when I meet with Bill, I was hoping to have two dataviews, one for tasks I owe him and one for tasks he owes me.
I wrote the below query for my Person Template, hoping it would return the todos/for bill when applied to the [[Bill Jones]] page/file:
TASK
FROM [[<% tp.file.title %>]]
WHERE contains(tags, "#todo/for")
But this returns all #todo/for items on the page (presumably because Maria and Bill were participants in the meeting). (Is there a way to query dataview at the block level for links, like I can with tags? That seems a critical difference between tags and links, at least for dataview.)
I have also thought of making #Bill_Jones as a tag - and that works… but it is awkward; I then have a page named [[Bill Jones]] and a tag named #Bill_Jones.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Russell
P.S. If anyone wants to follow the [[Bill Jones]] and #Bill_Jones method, this works for the template, creating the #Bill_Jones tag within the query for the [[Bill Jones]] page/file:
TASK
WHERE contains(tags, "#todo/for")
AND contains(tags, replace("#<% tp.file.title %>", " ", "_"))
