Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
I use classical markdown link syntax [the text I want to see on the link](the_filename.md)
. This syntax is more widely supported and notably by Pandoc, which I use a lot to create pdfs via LaTeX.
- Currently Dendron refactoring doesn't affect these files. If I rename a note, the markdown links are not updated.
- The hoover preview does not work on these links.
- The
![[a_dendron_note]]
does not work with a classical markdown link
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like that the classical markdown link syntax equipped with the same features as the wikilinks:
- automatic renaming upon refactoring
- hoover preview
- embed note content using a syntax like
