[enhancement] use h2 element to set the URL of the Note Page

Open grotesque opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

We are now able to set the "Title" property of the Note via the h1 element. Maybe we can use h2 element to set the URL of the Note.

You can use any HTML element as long as it has data-sb-obj="title-src" attribute.

I mean we can have a way to store source URL of the Note Page via some kind of html element (eg. h2 or something else).

I think currently you're only allowing us to set the "Title" property of the Note page, not URL of the note page.

Source URL is primarily for web page captures to trace the source. It is not considered an important metadata for note pages. So we are not going to add this functionality.

Well, we are marketing Note Pages as : "Note pages are extremely useful for clipping, editing, and re-organizing the contents from web pages or elsewhere"

I personally find Note Pages very useful to copy paste content from web-pages. But It's tedious to store the URL manually every-time.

I thus need to use other extensions that automatically Append URL to the clipboard. But that only gets me half way, i.e. having the URL in the Note Page data not Meta data.

One benefit of having a source URL for Note Page AS METADATA is quickly search URL instead of full text search.

PS: Evernote also has same functionality. If you copy paste from browser to evernote client, the source is automatically updated if the source URL meta data is empty.
