Inline multi-Aliasing: Disambiguating Analogies, Idioms, Word Usage

Things I have tried

What I’m trying to do

@gobbletown

The syntax OP would like to have featured would be more aligned with [[any-kind-of-link-to-anything|aliasA|aliasB|aliasC]] or perhaps nested aliases such as: [[Topic[[Definition]]]], where [[any-kind-of-link-to-anything]] would link to each [[aliasA]] and [[aliasB]] and [[aliasC]], creating and/or appending/linking each alias with all others and to the original file [[any-kind-of…]], as well.

The ability to alias liberally and with limited friction provides a sort of organic (and therefore useful) disambiguation, a disambiguation-anator if you will.

Kind of like inline synonyms. Or inline idioms. Or inline analogies.

This is a feature present in RoamResearch, Dynalist, etc.

A common response is, “Obsidian cain’t do this…” and “try one of those programs.”

Perhaps Obsidian “is not the PKM we are looking for.” However, it seems as though this is a potential feature squarely in-line (#puns) with Obsidian’s (or a plugin’s) capabilities…

See similar topics:

• Nesting functional links within link names
• Plugin to match pre-existing wiki links to pre-existing aliases of the same name
• Disambiguiting mutiple files with the same name
• Differentiate between navigation links and relationship links
• Auto-completion for certain frontmatter keys (aliases, tags, etc)
• Aliases for note names - #80 by argentum
• Can I Replicate This Critical Roam Research Feature?
• Magic, “One Click,” Dynalist search results—Yes!
• Handling nested links (different from nested tags)

Is there another way of understanding this long-unsolved need?

Solution, perhaps?

I’m too dense to directly apply to my use case(s) yet.

But, “That’ll do Mr. Meeseeks…. That’ll do…”
