Tags or properties of links between notes

[brainchild]

I am a complete novice of Obsidian.

I understand that notes may feature tags and other properties, and may be connected by links.

I would like to understand whether links themselves may be tagged.

As an example of application for the real world, consider notes for a fictional story plot, each one describing either a character or a scene. It might be useful for a link to carry a particular tag or property indicating that a particular character died in a particular scene, as an aid to visualization and filtering.

A link itself only implies some form of participation, the details of which are not specified, except through the text body of the note.

There’s no real built-in support for this. You can sort of hack it by using properties. Create a property called dies-at and make its value [[Chapter 4 Scene 3]] or whatever. You can use this in filtering etc.

The community plugin Breadcrumbs adds functionality on top of this to give you the kinds of “typed links” you’re looking for.

I will review the plugin.

The other suggestion might be adequate, as an approach, except for lack of any integration with the graph visualization.
