Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Not really.
Describe the solution you'd like
Auto-complete of links ([[link]]) does not include links to pages that do not exist yet. In other words, if one page references [[something]], I would expect that once I type [[some elsewhere, the auto complete would show me something among proposals even though that page does not exist.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Command createMissingLinkedNotes can be considered, but it will result in creating plenty of unnecessary pages that do not need any content. This is even more true if an original link would seize to exist.
The way I see it, there are such scenarios where the usability of certain pages is proved only once they prove to be popular.
I believe it is even more important when pages are used as "tags". It seems to be a popular concept among Obsidian users.
Additional context
This is a feature that can be found in tools like Obsidian or logseq. It would be interesting to see the count of links to pages that do not exist yet.
Thank you for submitting the issue.
This sounds like a useful feature! We'll definitely track this and see what we can do about it.
