What if the property is just stored as a string? Wouldn’t that fix the compatibility issue? Isn’t that what Obsidian’s Properties feature is already doing?
Like this:
‘’’
This way:
+1 This would be very useful especially in the case documents need to be converted in pandoc
I like to support this feature, I also proposed a more general feature request here:
https://forum.obsidian.md/t/text-type-property-to-support-single-line-markdown/72892
+1 for this, would love to have some human-readable lists of URLs as a property
I would like this feature as well. I have been looking for a solution for a while now before finding this thread.
+1 for this essential feature request. Any news please ?
Was finally going to convert to the new Properties today, only to discover neither external nor internal markdown links with aliases are supported. And yet, it’s so frequent to need a name/shortcut for a link (especially for url) as metadata in a note.
Will stick to the old and less UX friendly key:: for now.
I have split this FR in two parts for internal and external
+1 - Please add this!
It’s so badly needed,
and should hopefully be pretty easy to implement as it’s already working this way for wiki links.
Thanks 
Any news/ETA regarding this FR (and the same FR with external markdown links) ?
Thank you very much.
+1 I really need this feature 
Has this been implemented yet?
Hi, I have been testing recently some functionality of internal and external links in Obsidian front-matter. In the screen capture, similar is a list field with the following YAML values (Wiki links)
similar:
- "[[20240816180552.note|putt's law]]"
- "[[20240816180552.note]]"
As you can see that is rendered fine in the editing and view modes
but if I try to add a markdown link such as:
"[putt's law](20240816180552.note)"
that is not rendered and the link is not functional !
You can also use external links, only URLs inside quotes, in the frontmatter
social_media:
- https://forum.obsidian.md/t/my-vision-for-improved-social-media-experience-based-on-pim/86093
As you can see in the screen capture that is also rendered correctly and functional. But markdown syntax for external links inside front-matter does not work !!!
There is also this Use [[Wikilinks]] option in settings but I don’t have a clue if and how this works
Hi,
Are there any news regarding this FR ? Is external / internal markdown links support planned at some point ?
This is the last thing preventing me from switching to properties.
Thank you very much !
