What I’m trying to do
For example, using properties, I add a source
field of property type list
, then compile a list of links to source notes. These are important links that I would like to access from a note card in canvas. I am trying to figure out a way to see these links without leaving canvas. Note: If you double click into the note card to edit within canvas, you can see the properties, but the links are not live. In some ways, I would actually prefer the properties be hidden in this context.
Things I have tried
I searched the forum, and found some relevant information but no useful solutions. I am considering making a feature request to allow for Page preview to have an option for showing properties. I am also considering making a feature request for page previews to be accessible from canvas via a ctrl hover over the card title. This way I would have easy access to these link lists via a ctrl hover, while not polluting all canvas cards with properties.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. With the Obsidian roadmap suggesting a Databases core plugin, and a shift away from inline fields, I am trying to steer clear of that possible workaround. I also would prefer to let my notes continue to look clean in canvas and in preview mode.
Thanks!
