Similar to this thread I’m looking for a way of inserting a block id that can reference from other notes. Currently I have certain notes that I refer to as “annotations” which are basically atomic quote notes.
An example notes looks something like this:
---
id: A-202301261028
quote: My walk... is a public one. My business is in the world; and I must mix in the assemblies of men, or quit the post which Providence seems to have assigned me"
sources:
- { person: [[William Wilberforce]], place: [[📕 Spark]], location: test }
- { place: [[📕 Leadership as an Identity]], location: Chapter 20 }
tags:
- servant-leadership
- faithfulness

\`\`\`dataviewjs
dv.view("dv-views/annotations/v1")
\`\`\`
^d117db
Now the only remaining requirement/request I have is to insert a custom ^quote (see first image for reference). This way anytime I want to reference (typically with translucency) I can do something like ![[A-202301261028^quote]]
I’ve tried to so something like this in my index.js, but it did not create the same html markup as a proper block ID and ultimately it didn’t work to be recognized by my separate note.
So I think I got this to work, not sure what I was misunderstanding at the time but it actually works just as I hoped. So I have an annotation note with the following:
as part of my template, just below the dataview snippet I have a ^quote call that makes it possible for me to reference only the quote and not all of the additional notes within the file.
@ryanjamurphy My apologies, what I described as working I realized is not what I was trying to do (this is what I get for going on a trip between posting and replying). As I described in my last replay, place a ^quote below my dataviewjs block works as expected, but what I wanted to accomplish was inserting that same ability within the view.js (between the quote the quote and the source detail as seen here.
@ryanjamurphy I want to be able to translucent reference (embed) a quote into a note without any of the commentary context that I might have on the note. For example every annotation note will “the quote” and below that I may have personal commentary or context that I want to maintain about the quote.
Now when I reference that from other notes I would call it by the ID with ![[A-#######]] but without creating a specific ^quote section to specify the content I want, I will be embedding the quote and any additional context I’ve added to the annotation note.
@ryanjamurphy I understand that, and if I place ^quote directly in the note then of course this would work, but the issue is that what I’m placing in the note is a dataviewjs VIEW like so:
As you can see in the image below, this places the text where I want it (below the quote but above the source), but because it is within the view.js renderer it doesn’t appear to be recognized by the translucent reference (ie. [[A-202304122356#^quote]])
