Supertags in Obsidian?

Plugins ideas

I’m at the beginning of my Obsidian adventure and I don’t know anything about Tana, but I think we can easily obtain something similar using some Obsidian feature. Templates, YAML frontmatter and dataview, for example

If I consider this Tana video as a reference for supertag feature:

  • you can obtain the “outline” (isn’t a bullet list, in the end?) in Obsidian;
  • near American Spynx yout can have a note link. O even “American Spynx” itself can be a note link to American Spynx separate note.
  • in American Spynx note, I can create a YAML section, specifying

type: book (or type:#book)
author:…
year:…

##topics
…

And so on

Then I can create a book template with this kind of structure, and reusing it when I have to add a “book supertag” to another block of text.

I already use something similar in my vault, can I call it “obsidian supertags”? :slight_smile:

A significant drawback I’ve found in these method, if I have 100 book notes and I want to add a new attribute to my book model, it’s a bit tedious update the 100 already taken notes according to new book model.

But I think it’s not so difficoult add a better YAML manager to Obsidian, if in the future this feature will become a must have.
