We’re in the same boat. I’m evaluating Obsidian for use within our small Data/Analytics shop. We are looking for a tool to document the many data requests we receive from the dozens of departments in our org. Internally linking the documentation will be a huge win for us. However, we absolutely have the need to link to non markup documents and have them open in system default programs. Ex. if we link to a .xlsx file, it will open in Excel, or whatever the local system uses to open files of that type. We will be linking .sql, .xlsx, .txt, .docx, etc. I believe I can achieve this by [text link](absolute file path), but can’t make it work for a relative path. As we’re all currently using a network share, we can make it work, but if we ever have to move it, it will be a pain, as all of the links will break and have to be modified. I believe having the ability to use relative file paths (with the vault as the root) would solve this issue. Other than this one item, I’m loving the platform and hoping I can lobby for team wide adoption.
