Links to somewhere in the same page force a new tab when the page is pinned

[Lise]

Steps to reproduce

1. In the sandbox go to the Start Here page and create the following internal link:
   [[#What is this place?]] Click on the link and you will see that it works.
2. Now pin the Start page. Click on the link again.

Expected result

it would take me to that part of the page

Actual result

Result: the Start Here page opens in a new tab.

Here’s the FR for an internal block link:

Reuse the same pinned tab when clicking a link referencing its internal note block

Use case or problem If a non-pinned note contains a link to a block of its text, clicking the link will highlight the block and navigate to it: if that note is pinned, however, the same document will be opened in a new pane, highlighting the block and navigating to it, switching focus to it. Example note This is a text. ^mylinktest This is another text [[test123#^mylinktest]] the above one, will open a new tab if pinned. Proposed solution In this particular case i think the expected behavior …

Why was this sent to “graveyard”?

And why was the only reply set as a solution?

The way I read it, it wasn’t a solution but rather another post about the same issue, which I assume remains unresolved given that the it’s still a ‘problem’.

No?

Hello.

This was sent to the graveyard because it is not a bug but how obsidian currently works:
Pinned tab = do not open here (which I understand you do not always like like).

You were linked to a thread with a FR to change this behavior

Reuse the same pinned tab when clicking a link referencing itself / internal note block / heading

Use case or problem If a non-pinned note contains a link to a block of its text, clicking the link will highlight the block and navigate to it: if that note is pinned, however, the same document will be opened in a new pane, highlighting the block and navigating to it, switching focus to it. Example note This is a text. ^mylinktest This is another text [[test123#^mylinktest]] the above one, will open a new tab if pinned.

Thanks for the explanation.
Hopefully the feature request will be implemented, as it corresponds more to how people actually use pin.
