Hi @soakingwombat, glad my template could be of use to you.
Welcome to the forum, by the way!
I use templater to add placeholders at the points of the note where I usually want to write (key takeaways, status, priority). This way, I can quickly jump to these points in the note using ctrl+J (j for “Jump”), in my case. You need to set your own hotkey for this.
I actually don’t use dataview inside the template. In the “Citations” callout, I have an embedded search query. This is native to Obsidian. It embeds the same search results you would find in the Search pane. See this for more details.
But I do use dataview to group and collect similar annotations across different papers / literature notes. See this comment where I shared my “Literature processing” note with dataview queries.
