Properties & Bases: Parse (Render) Markdown in text properties // Allow mixing text and links in string fields

Feature requested:

For a text type of property, allow to interpret the value as a single line of markdown.

Use case or problem

Allow describing something with a sentence as a property. Here are a few


how-we-connected: “Meet on [[Foo Event]], together with [[John Doe]]”
description: “A key decision maker in the company [[Bar Company]] with an expertise in [[Enterprise Sales]]”

Proposed solution

For the UI of Obsidian to recognize the line of text value of any property to be a markdown.

Current workaround (optional)

Ignoring the markdown, just treat them as plaintext

  • In this feature request to add support markdown links, there are a lot of support. However, we believe it’s even more useful if it can be general rendering as markdown which allows links to be clicked and refactored.
