### Use case or problem

I would like to have an option using the existing ![] syntax to embed the entire folder of notes in one file.

### Proposed solution

Say I have the following folder structure

Active  
Comedy  
Note1  
Note2  
Note3  
Archive

I would like the syntax ![[Active/Comedy]] to embed everything that is in Note1, Note2 and Note3.

### Current workaround

Currently I would have to create a note with the following:

![[Active/Comedy/Note1]]  
![[Active/Comedy/Note2]]  
![[Active/Comedy/Note3]]

Similar posts exist [here](https://forum.obsidian.md//t/use-linkable-notes-rather-than-folders/196) and [here](https://forum.obsidian.md//t/linking-notes-to-folders/715), but I don’t think they’re the same as this request. I’ll try to make it simple: if a folder exists in the vault, you should be able to backlink to it—like [[Folder]]. This would make it easier to interlace folder-and-note setups for those of us using them. It’s also in line with how [DEVONthink](https://devontechnologies.com) interprets [[wikilinks]]—not sure about other wikilink-supporting apps. Another twist on this idea: ![[Fol…
