Use case or problem
Block references work inconsistently across different types of lines. For subheadings, items in marked lists, quotes, etc they work just fine but for most combinations of those, block references are broken.
For example, if I try to reference a quote that is inside a marked list with the [[^^
syntax, it doesn’t show up on the suggestions list.
Since I structure all my notes as nested marked lists, this often breaks my working process.
Proposed solution
To make ^abc123
-like references work for any given line.
Current workaround
When I need to have a reference to a line, I change it to make it searchable with the [[^^
syntax. Then, when the reference link (the ^abc123
-like) is created, I change the line back to the desirable form.
An example of all steps a line undergoes...
- > Quote inside a marked list
- Quote inside a marked list
- Quote inside a marked list ^abc123
- > Quote inside a marked list ^abc123
Unfortunately, when I change the line back, the reference gets broken and is not displayed in the popup window anymore:
