Hello
As I wrote here forum.obsidian.md, it’s not essential, but I did try hard to find an answer and now I’m actually curious. Why do those queries render differently (all B items after a second became bold)? Shouldn’t they give exactly the same result?
Some files: [[existing_file ]] [[non_existing_file ]]
A: `= this.file.outlinks`
B: `$= dv.current().file.outlinks`
I’ve looked everywhere I could think of. 
Have you looked inside the source code of Dataview? I’ve wandered around inside there now and then, and I believe this artifact is related to slight differences in how the results are rendered.
Yet again, I’ve seen non-existing files be rendered correctly, if only before the refresh occurs. So there is indeed some strangeness occuring related to this rendering.
Sadly, I don’t know if or whether how this can be fixed since plugins, AFAIK, don’t have access to the same rendering mechanisms which the pure markdown goes through. But I might be wrong about this last point.
O no… That’s definitely above my skill level I just googled, searched here on the Forum and inside the Dataview’s Documentation. So you think it isn’t like this by design? I may ask about it on the Dataview Github page then. Maybe in time, it can be changed with some actualization. Thank you very much for taking interest (again ). I always appreciate it.
