[FR] Find all mentions of current note

Open GoulartNogueira opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

We can already all links through all notes.

And search all links in the current note.

I'd like to make the other way around: Find all mentions (ingoing links?) for the current note.

Scan Vault (existing)

flowchart TD
    subgraph Vault
        Titles["All Titles(links)"]
        Contents["All Content"]
    end
    GlobalSearch --> Contents
    GlobalSearch --> Titles

Scan Note (existing)

flowchart TD
    subgraph Vault
        Titles["All Titles(links)"]
        Contents["All Content"]
    end
    subgraph Current Note
        Title["Title (link)"]
        Content["This Content"]
    end
    Scan --> Content
    Scan --> Titles

New mode (request)

flowchart TD
    subgraph Vault
        Titles["All Titles(links)"]
        Contents["All Content"]
    end
    subgraph Current Note
        Title["Title (link)"]
        Content["This Content"]
    end
    Scan --> Contents
    Scan --> Title

Why?

Once I create a new concept, and I need to manually search all vault and link each individually.

Sometimes I create a new note for a concept. But I know I've already mentioned it (without a link). So I need to scan the whole vault looking for the links and link them manually.

I would like to make this process with the same effortless experience as I have with this plugin.

Had the same idea, that would be a nice feature. Because once you have created a note, you know best whether it matches the suggested links.
