Link to Note A in the title of Note B

I want to link the title of two+ notes (for example “Sarah” and “Sarah’s House”) such that when the title of one note changes the title of the other note changes accordingly (renaming “Sarah” to “Aliyah” would change the note “Sarah’s House” to “Aliyah’s House”).

I have tried to search for ways to achieve this but either I don’t know what terms to search for or this is an uncommon use case. I assume the typical thing to do would be to have a “Sarah” note that contains the heading “[Sarah]'s House”. The reason I don’t want to do this is because I want to have separate notes for characters (“Sarah”), places (“Sarah’s House”), and events (“Sarah’s Death” - I am worldbuilding, not plotting murder).

Since a note title cannot contain square brackets I assume there is no way to place a real link in a title. I assume the behavior I am looking for can be provided by a plugin and properties (maybe a “linked-title” property with the value “[Sarah]'s House” and a plugin to detects changes in note names and renames other notes) and am wondering if such a plugin exists.

If such a plugin does not exist, would this be a reasonable first plugin project? I am a software developer but have no experience in JavaScript.

I am also open to alternative solutions.

Thank you.

I found the Filename Heading Sync plugin which fulfills my needs.
