Display the path between two notes

What I’m trying to do

The two blue notes are not directly connected. But they have in common that there are five white notes in between. It’s like a path.

How can I display the path from the lower blue note to the upper blue note?

A list view of all the white notes in between would be very revealing.

Is it possible to achieve this with connections only, meaning neither with tags nor properties?

Just a bump bc I find your question/use-case intriguing.

Indeed.

Reminds me of using local graph view. But in this case you’re isolating two notes connected by intermediary notes. Useful.

Wait a minute. Now that I’m thinking about it, aren’t there many pathways between notes? Like an infinite # of pathways between any two notes within a finite set of connected notes?

Note: I have 0 working knowledge of network theory and my intuitions may be misleading.

But if there are infinite pathways between indirectly connected notes, then are you isolating the most direct path (i.e. the lowest # of intermediary steps)?

I bumped into this post because I am looking for more or less the same thing.
I want to know if and how two notes are related. It does not really matter whether they are linked through multiple paths or just a single one.

The graph view could highlight the path based on the note you hover your mouse pointer on. like it does now for the level one notes.

Maybe some DataviewJS genius could make it,which is great, but having it in a graph view would actually make the view really useful.
