FR: control tags for inline geo links

Open ThomasSteinbach opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hi, thanks for this awesome plugin!

I have a proposal for a feature request. Imagine following use case (I have): I have a front matter note for a geolocation. Inside this note I have lots of tags belonging to this geolocation. Additionally I would like to add multiple inline geolocation links, which are connected to the front matter, but not important enough for a separate front matter note.

Now I would like to exactly control the tags for every single inline geo link. This would be useful for filtering in a Map View. However currently all the inline geo links will inherit the tags from the surrounding note.

So I would like to

  • add custom tags per inline geo link, which is already possible
  • exclude all tags from the note for a inline geo link
  • or exclude specific tags from the note for a inline geo link

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. I see the need you're pointing out, but I'm concerned that such a mechanism will be far too complicated and confusing for most users, not to mention future maintainers of the code :sweat_smile: In your use case, why use a front matter location in the first place? Even if you like to have a note that denotes a specific location, you can have the geolocation itself be enlisted inline, so you get full control of the tags for each location.
