This is the reason/motivation for using UID-only based filenames.
They enable to rename note titles and move files without breaking the links in form obsidian://vault/<vaultname>/<noteUID>
, including links stored externally.
- Opening such link does not require searching/indexing content of all files in the vault, just the filenames.
- We can change title by any application easily because links do not have to be updated/renamed.
- Versioning/backup systems need to create/store new version only for renamed file, not for all files that link to it.
Better support for separation between filename and title is requested in:
Existing support for aliases helps with usability of knowledge base based on files with UID-only filenames.
