One click solution to convert 'alias' to '[[Alias|alias]]'

[AlanG]

I have a separate template I run to create new notes and insert the link. It creates notes with my pre-filled default content for particular note types and/or creates the note in the right folder. I detailed it here:

Templater script : Create a new template -> open in split view -> paste link to the new note

That’s a great idea! I’ve used it to improve my new note template. Here’s how you do the split: const file = app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath('path/to/new_note.md') // Create the new leaf const newLeaf = this.app.workspace.getLeaf('split') await newLeaf.openFile(file) // Set the view to edit mode const view = newLeaf.getViewState() view.state.mode = 'source' newLeaf.setViewState(view) // Give focus to the new leaf this.app.workspace.setActiveLeaf(newLeaf, { focus: true }) // Move the cursor to …

It would be a simple matter to add the functionality of “If someone ran the New Note script and already had text selected, then use that as the alias for the new note”.
