Type | while text is selected to create a link with the selected text as an alias

I don’t see why that’s necessary. Either the selected text already matches the title of an existing note, in which case no further action is needed, or it doesn’t, in which case you want a popup to find a note to link, and a pipe.

I would love the ability to automatically create piped links (internal links with alternate display text, e.g. [[link|link text]]).

This is how I imagine it: Highlight a line of text and then (by means of a keyboard short cut which opens the internal link selection interface) insert an internal link on top of it. The result would automatically place the highlighted text after the pipe (“|”), and the name of the note linked to before it.

This way one could easily integrate internal links into existing text without the usual fenagle.

This would be just great for my workflow.

So, +1!
