Is it possible to open notes in a new pane by default?
Hi there
Currently, you have to ctrl/cmd click links to open them in a new pane. Could there also be an option to open in a new pane by default, without having to use a shortcut? Or is this hard-coded in Obsidian and can't be changed?
If you pin the current pane, clicking links will open them in a new pane by default. After you have opened that second pane:
- Clicking a link on the pinned pane will replace the second pane by the newly clicked note.
- Ctrl + Click will open a third pane and not replace the second pane.
The downside is that you have to pin panes manually but if you have a note with a lot of links like an index, you don't have to pin that often. I'm currently looking for a way to automatically pin every pane when it's opened though.
@Tomagori, I am looking for this thing too. :( Raised a feature request on the Obsidian Forum as well. Maybe, raise your issue in the comment as well? May be it will be picked up :)
@UmarJ, I am currently doing the same thing, but it gets restricting when you keep going into the notes. :disappointed: I had added a hotkey to it as well and on ipad, I added it to the mobile bar (both for pin and to open link under cursor in a new tab), but it is very difficult and kinda less responsive.

That is true.
