Oh because you mentioned this post, so I am wondering if you find a solution to this?

Hey Tim,

I didn’t cover that in my video, but it’d be interesting to find out if there’s a way to achieve that.

Maybe someone else has figured it out, but I don’t know of any straight forward solutions other than using Obsidian Publish to embed the link into Notion perhaps
