Note Refactor is probably the best plugin honestly. I’m not a Roam user but I’ve used NR for so many things that its probably been used over a thousand times in the past three months. I use it extensively when processing sources to convert rough notes into standalone idea-focused notes, leaving an outline of links in the original source note for reference later.
@roberthaisfield It looks like you are creating what the zettelkasten method calls fleeting notes so your use of the generic ID seems entirely appropriate. I stopped using the plugin long ago because I use different formats for different notes, but this is an interesting idea for fleeting notes. The ID can be recreated easily using a Keyboard Maestro macro or Alfred snippet/workflow. Thanks for the idea.
