whiteboard as a display option to create the connections and annotations

[Feng-YiJing-Dao]

As the whiteboard feature of Obsidian appears, it is hoped that the plugin can support the canvas data of the whiteboard and use the whiteboard as a display option, and use the custom relationship and description in the plugin configuration as connections and annotations.

+1 My use case is when studying a new topic I don't really know the exact hierarchy of information and want to quickly re-arrange the hierarchy as I find new topics that may nested under a previous topic, or I want to re-group existing topics under a new parent -- really it comes down to quickly inserting a node and redefining the edges of the existing nodes to point to/from this new node.

For example I recently had a Hierarchy Note (List note in v4) of:

• [[563 Computer Science]]
  • [[Software Fundamentals]]
  • [[Algorithms]]
  • [[Data Structures]]
  • [[Programming Languages]]
    • [[C-Programming]]
    • [[Artificial Intelligence]]

And I wanted to add a "Search Algorithms" under "Algorithms", the problem being I already had notes with explicitly defined up::[[Algorithms]] (not shown in the Hirearchy note since the relationship was defined later)

Currently I change the name of [[Algorithms]] to [[Search Algorithms]] which should update all the notes with explicit definitions to up::[[Search Algorithms]], but then I have to make sure that all those notes actually should be children of [[Search Algorithms]] versus [[Algorithms]]

It would be much faster to have a visual and dynamic way of viewing these so I could just reorganize by adding in the [[Search Algorithms]] node and re-connecting the notes with explicit up::, and this action would update the fields in the corresponding note

I'm open to suggestions on current workflows or workarounds!
