Hi Obsidian legends!
I’m trying to find a way to do this:
- I type /@PersonsName
- Obsidian recognises /@PersonsName is a person because of the @ symbol
- Wraps in a hyperlink: [[/@PersonsName]]
- Creates a templated note in a specific folder e.g. /people
Is something like this possible?
I use this script: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/mention-support-for-people-identities/6163/43
There are some other good solutions in that thread also if that one doesn’t suit.
Thank you kindly, this looks great. 👌
Don’t know if that’s possible but what I do is create a note for a person - for example [[Jane Doe]].
Then I add the #people hashtag in the note which, thanks to the auto note mover plugin, sends the note directly to a specific “People” folder.
I then go in and add to the person’s note any info I want to save for them, such as where they work, email, etc.
This system had proven to be very helpful for work. Has helped me so many times recall where and in what context I talked with someone.
Thanks for the reply, I’ll defo check that out.
Even if not for people I can think of a few good reasons to make tags move my stuff around!
I do something like this:
- Today I spoke to [[people/colleagues/Mary|Mary]] about the upcoming work trip
What this does is create a Note called Mary under people/colleagues, and instead of showing the full path, just shows Mary in the frontend.
Those / were meant to escape the at symbol so I didn’t mention anyone. But neither seems to have occurred 😅
It doesn’t do exactly what you want but a combination of QuickActions, Templater and maybe fileclasses gets you most of the way there. I use fileclasses extensively for my people notes
