Links may need to be updated when a new file is added to the vault that has the same name of a file already present in the vault to maintain consistency. This is important in shortest path mode as it currently may lead to link hijacking.
Assume I have /note.md
with a link to [[image.jpg]]
and the image is in /assets/image.jpg
.
If I add a new image as /image.jpg
, the link in /note.md
will be silently redirected to this new image.
Therefore, when anything is added to vault, Obsidian should check the links for consistency and update them if necessary.
