[Feature Request ] New Command -> Show Description Column

[FelipeRearden]

Hello again @tadashi-aikawa !!!!!!!!

My FR is a new command to ONLY show the description columm from a token that exist in a Custom Dictionary

When selecting the text/token in a note and hitting the hotkey command, it will show the context menu only with the description from that token

I know that sounds crazy, but let me share a real workflow

Learning a New Language

My Custom Dictionary

I have custom dictionary that I insert words and phrases in english that I don´t know how to write and/or dont know the meaning.

And I use the description column to write the translation from that word:

This is an example of my EN_Dictionary.md

word	description
love	amor
ship	barco
even though	apesar de, entretanto, contudo

Workflow

Imagine I´m reading in Obsidian a text that have the word love

Imagine that I dont know what the word love means in English or I dont remember exactly the translation of this word

Step 1: Select the word/phrase Step 2: call the new command Show Description Step 3: A menu context appear only with the Description from this word in my Custom Dic . In this case is amor Step 4: hitting ENTER will make the menu context disappear and unselect the word/phrase

Another Workflows

I think this idea could be great for other purposes like definitions for terms in math, law, chemestry, statistics and economics. Many times a term is important but not enough to create a backlink/note . An entry in a custom dictionary with a description is just enough :)

I hope you like my idea !!!!!!!!!

I know it´s a crazy idea but would be a great feature for my workflow :)

Let me know if you need more information :)

Happy Holidays !!!!!!!

Hi, @FelipeRearden. Thank you for your FR :)

I have understood why and what you want to do so. I will consider implementing it; however, let me this FR low priority because this is a bit out of the mainstream.

Best regards.
