What I’m trying to do
I am trying to find a plug-in which can match or improve on a TheBrain function in notes which automatically underlines with dots any word or phrase that matches an existing Thought (the term for an individual note). This match will also
How it works in TheBrain
This is how a match appears in the note pane of TheBrain
The user can either ignore or it access a set of options in a popup menu:
- Activate will open that thought/note
- Link will convert the word(s) to a link to that thought/note
- Insert Thought or Web Link will allow a user to add a link to a different thought/note or URL
Meanwhile the thought/note itself, in this case Bearly, will add an unlinked mention which the user can confirm or leave unlinked
This last part is already well matched within Obsidian, but I’ve yet to find a solution with any of the core or community plugins for the first use, where it’s extremely useful to be able to see at a glance, without any input or delay, any existing files that match that name. (TheBrain allows you to filter out common words, and the process doesn’t seem to add much in the way of overhead.)
I’m sure I’m missing something in Obsidian which can do this, but so far I’ve not been successful.
Plugins I’ve tried
- Content Linker
- Virtual Linker/Glossary
- Note Linker with Previewer
- Backlinks
