Would like the ability to convert between inline and frontmatter.

```auto
example::[[link]]

```

to be converted into frontmatter:

```auto
---
example: ["link"]
---

```

Also would like links in the frontmatter to display in the graphview as valid links (as requested in [Allow links in YAML front matter; Notion-like databases from metadata; links as first-class citizens](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/allow-links-in-yaml-front-matter-notion-like-databases-from-metadata-links-as-first-class-citizens/10052))
