What I’m trying to do
I’m using Obsidian for academic research and my idea is updating my notes automatically with any new piece of information that I wikilinked to the same note. My work process is “Reading article” > “Take notes and separate those notes in [[Concepts]]” > “Copy and paste the [[Concepts]] that I wikilinked into their correspondending note”
This is fine until you have 10-15 different articles that talk about the same note and you have to copy-paste every reference to the respective [[Concept]], so I wanted to make that process automatic so concept review goes smoother. The name that the AI gave to the idea was: “Backlinking with context” or “Inverse automatic transclusion”. I don’t want the whole text in my [[Concept]] note, just the paragraph where that [[Concept]] was linked, maybe it’ll get simpler if I just give and example
Note: “(Article) Language is context”
- Martin (1982) defends that language is about using words in the correct place. [[Context]]
The idea would be entering in this new [[Contextx]] note and having:
“- Martin (1982) defends that language is about using words in the correct place. [[Context]]”. From “(Article) Language is context”
This would safe a huge amount of copy pasting and would make my life 1000 times better, is it possible?
Things I have tried
I tried looking for solutions using AI chatbots but the solutions I got using Dataview seemed quite complex for my knowledge and looked limited to “Well, this way you can have a list/table of places where the [[Concept]] is located” but isn’t really automatic and is not a huge upgrade from “Expand” > "Backlinks from “Name of the note” > “Linked mentions” > “Mouse click in mentions and copy + paste”
