I love the in-document backlinks, but I hate the expanded view. I want them as a simple list just like the sidebar. So I made a plugin to do exactly that.
It’s incredibly simple, it effectively just clicks the collapse button whenever a new document is opened.
How to install
- Install the BRAT plugin from the Community Plugins.
- Open the Settings page for BRAT.
- Click “Add Beta Plugin”.
- Paste in this address:
https://github.com/alangrainger/obsidian-collapse-backlinks
- Click “Add Plugin”.
I won’t be submitting it to the plugin store because it’s just a single line of code.
Hopefully this helps you if you’re annoyed by the same thing I am.
