Recognise pandoc citations as Obsidian links

This would be a REALLY nice feature!

In the mean time, I’ve found a solution that goes the other way.

Instead of having Obsidian recognize Pandoc citations, this has Pandoc treat Obsidian literature note links as citations:

I use the Citations plugin to manage citations. Within Obsidian, I really would prefer to have links to the literature note rather than citations: (1) [[@darwin-1856-origin]] But, of course, for Pandoc to render this citation properly this should be: (2) [@darwin-1856-origin] Pandoc recognizes the second as a citation, but wraps the finalrendering with the extra brackets .

This seems to work well with ZotLit nowadays. It will insert citations as [@citekey], which link back to the literature notes, and can also be processed by Pandoc Reference List etc. to have nice textual renderings.

It doesn’t work show backlinks on the literature notes, though, which I agree would be fantastic!
