Hi again @holroy , and again thanks for your time!
I will study/test this latest explanation, but right now I have to leave in 20 minutes, and probably won’t have time until tomorrow evening to go back to this.
Meanwhile, I will try to explain myself better what I currently believe should be my main use of what I am learning in this thread.
First, I would prepare once and for all a standard template named something like alias-collector, which has in the frontmatter one line saying "wanted_tags: [“x”]
Then, EVERY time I need to collect all the aliases in all my notes that contain e.g. the tag #recipes in their frontmatter, I would:
- create a new empty note
- insert the alias-collector template into it
- change “x” in the wanted_tags key of the frontmatter to (in this case) “recipes”
- save the note
- click on the templater button in the sidebar, and select the templater we are talking about, which, I hope, would read “recipes” from the frontmatter of the note I called it into, and list all the aliases from the notes that have “recipes” among their tags
- start writing a new article, recipe, whatever I need to write… using the templater output as rough outline
