Hello @roberthaisfield,
Very interesting post ! I still think the possibility to toggle a block-level search in the backlinks pane would be a game changer for Obsidian. We would have the best of both worlds.
As you’ve perfectly described, It would allow to :
- Use daily notes to quickly get down some ideas,
- Add inline tags / links in these inputs…
- …To then be able to filter them at block level using backlinks pane of other notes.
Obsidian already shows each block where the backlink appears : it seems so close to being able to filter each block, and it would be a game changer !
I really miss the simplicity of complete daily notes where each block can be easily recovered through search and filters in the backlinks panes of other notes.
I created a feature request mentioning this :
It also has been mentionned in this feature request by @rishiraam a few months ago :
Has your workflow evolved in this direction since then ? Have you heard of some plugins that would help this workflow ?
As of today, I have no idea if this is something that may ever happen, or if this is in contradiction to Obsidian’s philosophy.
