Use case or problem
I’m trying to use Obsidian to browse and maintain a repository of related documents that link to each other in a way compatible with GitHub, Bitbucket, VS Code, and internal tools:
## This is an Internal Heading
[This is a link to the internal heading](#this-is-an-internal-heading)
If I try to follow such a link in Obsidian, it fails:
Unable to find selection in this-document-filename
If I alter the links to use Obsidian’s preferred anchor target, users of other tools can’t follow the links:
[This link to the internal heading works in Obsidian only](#This%20is%20an%20Internal%20Heading)
Proposed solution
I’d like a repository setting useSlugsForHeadingAnchors which, if set true, altered Obsidian’s behaviour to:
- Generate a slug for each heading in a manner compatible with GitHub’s Markdown rendering
- Render headings with an anchor using that slug
- Render inserted links with a target using that slug
Example rendered output given our original Markdown might be:
<h2><a id="this-is-an-internal-heading">This is an Internal Heading</a></h2>
<a href="#this-is-an-internal-heading">This is a link to the internal heading</a>
