Interesting: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/make-a-better-pdf-annotation-in-canvas/61298

Currently, PDF++ does not support Canvas because internal links in canvas files are not indexed by Obsidian. However, it would be possible to highlight backlinks from the same canvas file that the PDF viewer is embedded in by inventing the wheel.

We could also add a new option such as "create a card from text selection" in Canvas.

Research memo: when opening a canvas file with PDF,

app.workspace.activeLeaf.view.canvas.nodes.values().next().value.child

is a PDFEmbed instance.

@RyotaUshio +100 for the "Create card from text selection" concept

Datacore 0.1.17 has added experimental canvas indexing! https://github.com/blacksmithgu/datacore/releases/tag/0.1.17

I guess now I don't have to implement the tedious indexing part myself. Maybe this issue can be moved forward on top of this datacore update? (also contributions are welcomed)

For now, Datacore's canvas parser has a bit of problems so I won't implement this feature very soon. But I do want to when datacore is ready.
