### Use case or problem

“Parallel pages, visibly connected” in Obsidian

### Proposed solution

1. [Screencast: Parallel pages, visibly connected](https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1272600105892196352/pu/vid/1280x720/rHvmA3mqgnnw38qA.mp4)
2. It would be nice to see the changes to the documents in parallel, showing the visible connections with all the changes

### Current workaround (optional)

1. There is no Obsidian plugin with this feature that I request
2. A great example of this feature is available at [roamresearch](https://roamresearch.com/)
3. Another great example that we can cite is [Open Xanadu](https://xanadu.com/xanademos/MoeJusteOrigins.html) where we can see changes to documents in parallel
