Support Bases filters in Graph view
Use case or problem
Currently, the Graph view’s filter only supports search-query syntax, such as:
-file:.base -path:PeriodicNote -path:4-Archive -tag:#core -path:Bots -path:Learn and Research/Obsidian
While this works, editing filter conditions as text in such a small input field is inconvenient:
Imagine being able to filter the Graph view using Bases filters instead:
Furthermore, if combined with the functionality proposed in Bases: Quickly enable/disable filter groups via buttons toggles - Feature requests - Obsidian Forum, we could quickly toggle the visibility of different categories of notes.
This would make working with the Graph view much easier than editing text in the current tiny search field.
Proposed solution
As described above, optionally allow users to use Bases filters instead of the traditional query syntax.
For simple filter groups—for example, a group containing only one path condition—the existing query syntax may still be more convenient.
Therefore, similar to how Bases filters provide Simple filter and Advanced filter modes, I propose allowing users to switch between Query (traditional) and Bases Filter modes:
