Hi guys, I’ve created a plugin that you can use to embed and link local files outside your vault.

oylbin/obsidian-external-file-embed-and-link

I’ve submitted it for community plugin review. In the meantime, you can try it by downloading the files from the release page.

Features

  1. Embed external files (PDF, Images, Audio, Video) outside your obsidian vault. (Markdown file embedding is under development)
  2. Create links to files outside your obsidian vault that open with system default applications
  3. Reference files using paths relative to Home directory or Vault directory for cross-device and cross-platform compatibility
  4. Provide commands to add embeds or links via file picker
  5. Support drag & drop to create embeds or links

Example Usage:

```EmbedRelativeToHome
SynologyDrive/work/Document.pdf#page=3&width=100%&height=80vh
```

```EmbedRelativeToHome
Videos/test.mp4|800x600
```

```EmbedRelativeToHome
Downloads/test.png|400x300
```

```EmbedRelativeToHome
Videos/test.mp3
```

Supported File Types for Embedding:

  • Images: .avif, .bmp, .gif, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .svg, .webp
  • Audio: .flac, .m4a, .mp3, .ogg, .wav, .webm, .3gp
  • Video: .mkv, .mov, .mp4, .ogv, .webm
  • PDF: .pdf

Embedding Markdown files is currently under development.
