I’m curious if it might break a lot of third-party plugins that already use the {{ }} syntax. If so, I’m sure that would be a bummer but still probably worth it because first party should get priority on syntax over third-party plugins.

It would be nice, but maybe there needs to be an “alternate” front matter section. In case anyone doesn’t know what YAML stands for “YAML Aint Markdown Language”. YAML is managed by a standards group and is is very narrowly defined.
Interesting! Do you know if there is any possibility to now copy the displayed variable as to get a string value? For let’s say relinking the output again:
---
title: "The Hobbit"
author: "J. R. R. Tolkien"
---
# [[<%+ tp.frontmatter.title %>]] - [[<%+ tp.frontmatter.author%>]]
I know this doesn’t work like this because what you get is not a string value right?
