I tested this and it works fine on my end, including the autocompletion and searching. Including if I had added the alias first. You just have to position your cursor after the note title.
Thank you for your suggestion. Your explanation makes sense.
With your workaround, the block quote will be rendered as “Alias Name Here”, i.e. the alias name is the one for the block but not the one for the note.
Since the alias name of the note can be inserted automatically, the annoying part is that one may have to change the alias name from the one of the note to the one of the block or remove the alias name.
However, it is just annoying and is not intolerable
Yes. I don’t understand how you would want it to look otherwise. Am I misunderstanding? If you add an alias, it will change what is displayed. Isn’t that the only point of an alias?
Can you type out how you would want it to look otherwise?
