Pushing a block from daily notes to a target (new) note

Things I have tried

I tried looking everywhere for plug ins and the closest thing I found was a plugin called workbench which I couldn’t get to work.

What I’m trying to do

hi there, how can I push blocks of content from daily notes onto a (new or previously created) target note so the block note appears in full (not simply as a reference that needs to be expanded).

I’m not sure if this is a request for new feature, but I believe it would be of immense value to the community - it’s similar to Roams page references (which is fully displayed in the target note) but would be seen as part of the body of the note and editable. Does that exist?

The Obsidian42 - Text Transporter plugin might be what you are looking for. It is not longer in beta, you can fin it in the community plugins list.

Perhaps this open issue for Text Transporter is what you’re looking for? If so, I also haven’t yet found a solution for it.

Hello TfTHacker, thank you for creating this plugin. It really makes the job of …moving data around Obsidian really easy and the overall experience of Obsidian more enjoyable. I am no longer worried about having to decide between atomic notes vs long DNPs (like I was used to in Roam), I feel like I can be flexible and decide what to do at the moment I am capturing the info, because I have such a powerful tool like Text Transporter!! Having said that, I would request an additional feature - if possible. Currently, I can push (or pull) text, or push (or pull) a block embed to/from another note. I would also like the ability to push text to a destination note and simultaneously leave a block ref or embed of that in the source note. (Or conversely, pull text and leave behind a block ref in the original note). To explain - Suppose I have 2 notes - `Note 1` and `Note 2`. In `Note 1` I have `"SomeText"`. Right now I can only push either `"SomeText"` to `Note 2` or push the Block Embed of `"SomeText"` to `Note 2`. I would like the ability to push `"SomeText"` to `Note 2` and leave behind a Block Ref/Block Embed of that in `Note 1` in a single step. I can of course push `"SomeText"` to `Note 2` and then pull the Block Embed of that back into `Note 1`, but that would need me to execute 2 steps, instead of 1. Or am I missing something? Another feature that would be great, is the ability to push text into a note that is yet to be created. Maybe I will create a separate issue for that.
