Be able to link to specific highlights

Open vstrien opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

In Obsidian, you can link to a specific heading. Translated to exported highlights, I would like to be able to link to a specific highlight.

In the Kindle exporter that I use (https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin) this can easily be done, because

  • the per-highlight template is editable (apart from the general template)
  • there are variables for (for example) location

Ideally, this kind of structure makes it very flexible to export highlights.

Alternatively, just putting a heading above every highlight with the location (i.e. ### location {{ location_number }}) would do the trick even without customizable highlight templates. We could then immediately "deep-link" to the specific highlights by using [[BookTitle#location loc_number]]
