Anyone coming off of Remnote is aware of their Alias functionality. You can have a long word or phrase like “Community Threshold Procedure” which could have “CTP”, or “Com Proc”, or others. Then the shortened version becomes a link to the Long Version. I know Obsidian has aliases but I’m not seeing a way to identify the alias to just one word or phrase.
HELP PLEASE!!! Is this even possible in Obsidian?
What I’m trying to do
I want to have different terms for a phrase or word: as shown above.
Things I have tried
I don’t see a way to do this
Searched everywhere and everything points to a note. I want to just know what the alternative words are for a phrase or long word
The way aliases work within Obsidian is that you can define a property called aliases in a note, so if you had a note called Community Threshold Procedure, you could define the property aliases: CTP, Com Proc. Now if you in some other file start to create a link using [[ you could type CTP and it should suggest the file, and insert a link with just the aliased text of CTP.
I’m not quite sure this answers your question, but this is how aliases works in Obsidian. You can’t have an alias for a random word, just for links to notes.
If you don’t want to actually have aliases defined for a given file, you could also just type the link variant with the aliases after the pipe character like in: [[Some random file | SRF ]]
I just like seeing the space around it. It helps me differentiate the different parts. In other words, just a personal preference which I don’t think affects anything besides the visual appearance.
