How to change backlink name?

Help

1

Hi everyone!
I’m a newbie on Obsidian and I’m trying to create a information system for people.
I’m using Zettelkasten prefix for my backlinks.

This is my workflow.

  • Create new person from templates.
  • Create new note to “Backlinks” folder.
  • Rename it with Zettelkasten prefix.
  • Add files in this note.
  • Add this note as backlink in the person note.

Problem:

  • I don’t want to see this backlink name on the graph view as some numbers but a name that I can give to it.
  • If I change the name of the note and add the same name again it becomes “Examplenote 1”
    For example: I add ID Cards for all the people. And I want to see it like that.

    But because notes can’t be same name. It changes like “TC ID Card 1”

Is there a way to fix that so my system looks better.

Hello.

This?

If a note is called asd123 and you want to link to it with a different display name, you can use [[asd123|A Different Name]].

Like this:

[[asd123|A Different Name]]

You type the title of the note, then the pipe character, and then whatever display name you want to use.
