Obsidian 1.4.0 is currently in early access and it introduces Properties!

This is a game changer for me! I’ve had to use Dataview and other plug-ins to achieve something similar, so I look forward to the native support.

    Sure, I do something similar. I have a note for a person and I have a note for a recurring meeting. In a recurring meeting I have a Dataview field called Host.

    #Meeting
    This is my meeting note
    
    Host:: [[John Doe]] 
    

    In a Person note, I have a section for meetings the person hosts. I use Dataview to search for the Host field and see of it matches the current Person note.

    #Person
    This is John Doe's note.
    
    # Meetings
    
    dataview
    table without ID file.link AS "Meeting"
    from #Meeting
    where contains(Host, this.file.link)
    
    

    The new Properties feature sounds like it’ll be what Dataview fields are. Except now it’ll be in a native interface where I can easily change the information about the note.
