Enhancement of core Templates plugin: Move to folder

[blue_emperor]

Other proposed feature requests to Templates core plugin:

1. the title of this FR doesn’t include “Templates core plugin” but the feature requested is related to it:

Introduce preset/user definable variables system

I think some kind of preset and/or user definable variables will be a great addition to growing Obsidian possibilities. Example of preset variables: UName = user account name Date = current date Time = current time Title = current note name etc It will be good to give user a way to define it’s own variables. (Special GUI needed? Or just a quick config-file setup.) There should be a special syntax to expand variables. Something like this: [%Date%] Thoughts? Let’s brainstorm this!

2. this FR is potential duplicate of the current feature request—it doesn’t indicate how the folder in template file should be specified like using additional inline syntax for processing instructions in template files

Automatically applied folder templates

Use case or problem I have many folders and each of them has its own unique setup, with the same backlinks and tags consistently throughout all documents in that folder. Proposed solution I would like to be able to make a template for a given folder such that every time I make a new note in that folder, it already has the associated template copied in. Current workaround (optional) I make a template for each different folder and remember to apply it to each note that goes into that folder as t…

3. this FR propose processing instructions or additional syntax in templates that control file display name

Display customizable representation strings/icons instead of filename-only

Use case or problem: This is more general request than Use H1 or front-matter title instead of or in addition to filename as display name. Satisfy all personal (including incompatible) preferences expressed in that thread. Display data/metadata most appropriate during given workflow. Proposed solution: There could be some “config”/“template” available where user could reorder/delete/add/edit it’s elements to fit it’s needs. - DisplayText: | CONCATENATE( {{Icon}}, " ", OR({{Title}}, RegExRe…

4. this FR propose additional inline syntax used to create links that point to properties in files—similarly as in (1) this syntax could be processed in core templates but optionally in live preview as well

Property Pages

[Screen Shot 2023-09-15 at 11.32.29 am] Ability to make the property a [[link]] As I far as I can see a property name cannot perform link a hyperlink. Or, at lease this is how it performs in the property sidebar. I’d like the property “Agencies” to be [[Agencies]] so I could click directly on the property name and open a link for the property. Ability to make the property a [[link]] Option to create link as you create a new property - you just hit “[[” or the hottest key you got. Related f…

5. this FR propose additional inline syntax for automatically creating zettelkasten notes—the feature proposed is very similar to (1) however this additional syntax could be effective only when clicking internal links [[note {additional syntax}]]—thus I’m including it just by means of general interest

Create zettelkasten note inline

I can’t seem to find documentation on how to do it if it’s already a feature but are we able to create a zettelkasten note inline? I know I can create a new note with [[some note]] but is it possible to generate a zettelkasten note inline (with the id)?
