Select using line numbers and Go To Line

The editor has the option to Show line numbers, I would like to use this option similar to notepads like Notepad++ in Windows, where user can select texts by clicking the line number or by using Go To Line to jump to a specific number.

Thank you!

This is a great feature request that word greatly improve the accessibility of Obsidian for dictation users who have limited use of their hands, the mouse, and the keyboard–as well as benefiting other keyboard-based users.

For a full description of an ideal implementation, check out my Obsidian publish note on the same.

I had not realized how much I depend on being able to click on a line number and have it select the associated line of text until I started using the Obsidian editor and found this feature missing.

This would be especially useful for mobile. Embedded images that take up the whole screen are hard to click to edit the link – clicking opens the image instead. And in source mode you no longer can see the images and have to go off of filename…
