How to connect two canvas nodes in Obsidian Graph View?

[Pch]

I don’t think this is something that can be done (but I could also be wrong … as I didn’t use canvases enough, so far, to know their subtleties )…

You can display .canvas files on the graph (as an attachment), link .canvas files to notes by adding a wikilink to the .canvas in a note, that also will be displayed on the graph … but I think that what’s in a .canvas only lives there …

How to do this, between canvases and notes?

As Pch said, a [[wikilink.canvas]] in a note will display in the graph.

There are few feature requests for bringing more features to the Canvas. I think this is the main one (there are a few more):

Canvas: Cards and Notes in Links/Backlinks and Outgoing Arrows in Graph View

Right now, Wikilinks contained in Canvas’ specific cards do not appear in the Cavans’ outgoing links (where they logically belong) and they do not appear as outgoing arrows from the canvas’ dot in the graph view. Similarly, the Notes (files) added to Canvas could be logically interpreted as “embedded in the Canvas” and hence appear in its Outgoing links. It would be nice if if functionality is implemented. Note: Connections FROM files/notes TO canvas already work.
