Same name Links to differrent files

Very new to obsidian and i have multiple Novels i’m working on. I’ve created a file for each novel and in each of those files i want to have a link called [[Draft 1]] in them linked to a file where the first drafts for that Novel will be written. But after i had made the first [[Draft 1]] i realized i couldn’t create a new [[Draft 1]] for a different novel file because anytime i tried it would just be linked to to the first novel’s [[Draft 1]]

is there a way for a every file to have their own [[Draft 1]]

There are settings here (Settings > Files and links) you can change.

Then you can have
[[Novels/Novel1/Draft1]]
[[Novels/Novel2/Draft1]]

But I would consider making the note names unique and using link / display text to change how they are shown. e.g.

[[Novel1_Draft1|Draft1]]

Having unique note names will help your future self. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thankyou so much this worked perfectly!
