Quick Note Plugin

The following plugin is a very early stage Obsidian plugin meant to accelerate the speed of note taking and linking with additional features. The core features are:

• Find Possible Aliases: By clicking the merge icon on the left side, a list of all display names used for the current page but not added as an alias are shown with options to add them to the aliases metadata of that note.
• Solidify Links: By clicking the icon on the left side, one can take all the links to a current page and change them so that if the link is XYZ it is converted to XYZ ensuring that even if this note's name is changed that the display names of its links will not be automatically changed but the actual link to the page will.
• Silently Create Note: To avoid needing to pan to another page, highlight a selection, right click and select this option which will create the note but not pan over to the page.
• Silently Create Note with Different Name: Same as silently create note but with the ability to change the name of the note
• Link to Note as Alias: To link a display name to some alias and possibly add it into the aliases attribute, highlight a selection, right click and select this option.

Find Possible Aliases

• Called by clicking the merge icon on the life side
• Will find every instance of the current file, e.g. MyFile, and see all times it is used as the root note such as MyFile
• Any display names which are not currently represented as an alias are shown in a modal with the option to add these aliases for easier future linking of files

Solidify Links

• Called by clicking the shield on the left side
• Will change all links from MyFile to MyFile

Silenty Create Note

• Called by highlighting a section, right clicking then calling "Silently Create Note"
• Creates a new note with the given name in the background instead of panning over to it

Silently Create Note with Different Name

• Called by highlighting a section, right clicking then calling "Silently Create Note with Different Name"
• Brings up a modal that asks one to:
  • Specify the name of the silent note to create
  • Specify whether the highlighted text should be added as an alias
• In the case that the note is already present, an alert will come up that the note already exists but the link will still be added

Link to Note as Alias

• Called by highlighting a section, right clicking then calling "Link to Note as Alias"
• Brings up a modal that asks one to:
  • Change the display name
