Filter dataview for uncreated files that contain specific text

[blurredeye]

Hi, I am trying to create a list view of links that contain a specific word e.g. I have a list of files of professions e.g: Accountant (profession), Project Manager (profession) etc etc etc

Some of these have been created files but some are yet to be created. I would like to create a dataview list of all items (both created and uncreated).

Is there a way to do this?

I reckon with a little bit of adaption you could the code from the thread below to look through the unresolved links (aka the uncreated files which are linked to) to filter out those with a given word.

List unresolved links as unlinked mentions

Unresolved links which are aliased somewhere So here is a script which lists unresolved links which are aliased in an existing files: ## Unresolved links which are aliased in an existing file ```dataviewjs // Build the list of all existing aliases in the vault, // with references to every file it's defined in const aliasToPaths = {} // alias to file.path(s) await dv.pages() .where(p => p.file.aliases.length > 0) .forEach(p => { p.file.aliases.forEach( a => { if ( !(a in aliasTo…

Then again, when Dataview queries for links, it doesn’t care whether it’s created or not, so why can’t you just use a filtered version of file.outlinks or similar?

Maybe something as simple as:

```dataview
TABLE length(rows) as count
WHERE file.outlinks
FLATTEN filter(file.outlinks, (out) => contains(meta(out).display, "(profession)")) as profLink
GROUP BY profLink
```

This would link all outlinks found in your vault where the link has (profession) in the link name.
