What I’m trying to do
I am currently testing Obsidian to see if it fits my needs. I would be quite heavily using it on Android as well (mobile/tablet) and one thing I need often is that I share a link or a text to Obsidian. This opens a “Add text to file” menu with only three options (daily note, choose a file and the currently open file).
How can I extend that menu with my own options that would for example create a note with a specific template in a specific folder?
Templater also won’t work in this case. If I go the “Choose a file…” route and create a new note in a folder for which I have a rule set, the chosen template won’t be inserted because the file is no longer empty when Templater sees it as it is pre-filled with what I shared to Obsidian.
So basically what I am trying to do is:
-
Add an option to the “Add text to file” menu that appears when I share something to Obsidian and have that option choose folder, name and template.
-
Get Templater rules to work with files that Obsidian created with pre-filled text.
Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
And by the way, for context, I am also a software engineer, so the coding side is no problem just figuring out what APIs I could use or if it is at all possible.
