Steps to reproduce
I integrate pdfs, images an other ressources into my vault by using symlinks: The original file remains outside the vault, the symlink is placed within and can be accessed in obsidian.
Expected result
Click on Symlink should open the file as if the original was present; either natively in obsidian or using the default app, depending on the original file type.
Actual result
Left click on symlink of:
- pdf: opens file natively as expected
- jpg: shows the image as broken; but a right click on symlink and “open in default app” works
- mp4: shows only a small and inactive player window; but a right click on symlink and “open in default app” works
Environment
- Operating system: Windows10
- Obsidian version: 0.11.13
Additional information
Symlinks are created per file with "link shell extension"
