Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
It's possible to add custom properties to note's frontmatter and I would like to use links in frontmatter as well. Right now, if you place a link in frontmatter, it doesn't generate a backlink like like a tag in the tags property does.
Describe the solution you'd like
A link placed in frontmatter generates a backlink on the target note.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Placing link in the body of the note obviously works, but then the link will be rendered in preview.
makes sense. adding as a crop candidate!
I realized there might be a problem with how links are presented in frontmatter, since
links: [[link-1]]
is equivalent to
links:
- - link-1
Some other format is needed, I guess.
+1 on this, especially on meeting notes this would be really helpful
