Hmm. Actually, for my specific setup, Note Composer kind of already does this — though it does something else strange.
My original links in an article note look like
[[People/Smith, Jesse A.|Jesse A. Smith]].If I then go and merge the note Smith, Jesse A. into the note Smith, Jesse, the link on the article page has turned into
[[Smith, Jesse|Jesse A. Smith]]So the merge has preserved the original display text, but it also gets rid of the folder in the link. I can actually live with that.
Is there a solution for this? As in a plugin or a setting that was introduced with updates after the original post?
Adding this message as a reminder that this is a simple, but valuable feature.
I agree, just merged some notes and even expected this to be the default behavior
+1 for this please!
Great idea! +1 from me too. I’d like to have this as a toggle in settings though.
Would love this feature, please consider giving us the option of adding the filename of the Sub- note we are merging with the Master file as an Alias!! Very very useful!!
Please consider this feature, much of the context is lost when not preserving the alias.
BTW, is there any plugin that does this?
^ let me know if you found one!
That would be nice!
In the meantime…

…“Create link with alias” is helping me, give it a try. It doesn’t merge but it’s handy because you can link with the alias instead of using the normal linking.
Thank you for sharing this!
