Have an internal link to my note property inside a callout, in the same note.
I have tried both =this.property and $=dv.current().propery as inline code to link my property inside the note. Those two codes work great outside a callout but aren’t working inside a callout.
Is it possible to reference to a property inside a callout? It doesn’t make sense to have both values inside the callout and the properties at the same time…
Thanks in advanced!
What kind of a callout are we talking about? Could you show an example of what’s not working, but in the context you would like it to work?
I have a people note with one property for a birthday date for example.
In this person note, I created a multi-column using CSS, which uses callouts. For simplicity, regular callouts work the same way.
What I’m trying to achieve is to have a smart reference inside the callout, to the frontmatter property. Like that:
--- birthday: 2000-01-01 --- > [!note] > +++SMART REFERENCE TO "birthday" PROPERY HERE+++
If I try to use “=this.property” outside the callout, it works. Otherwise, it isn’t. Any workaround?
Maybe this?
This works like a charm for me:
> [!info]
> `= this.birthday`
But @ariehen do have a point related to values updating, so if your query looks similar to my query, you could try reopening the note, or doing the command: Dataview: Rebuild current view. That should take care of any update issues.
In addition, there is a current bug related to some rendering of value related to using await and repeated fields in a list context which might be applicable in a callout/quote section as well.
Yeah, I have a few, admittedly simple, Dataview queries in callouts and they work fine.
I was curious about the inline variety in callouts, they work over here, but I noticed the query not updating with a YAML change and found that bug report.
I don’t know… Doesn’t work for me, even if I reopen the file. Maybe it is something to do with a plugin I installed or a CSS snippet. I try to create this callout for multi-column note view.
