Quick Links Plugin

Hey Rik

What you propose sounds reasonable. I'll need to take a closer look to see what exactly your plugin does.
It also reminded me of this discussion: Are URL links on the roadmap?

This is very nice. Kudos for the work done.

Is there a way to make this plugin work in WYSWYG editor directly. It does work in markdown mode.

Note - I am talking about the popup note selector.

gingerman · 2021-01-25T09:56:44.845Z

+1 to the idea.

Having a single plugin with an uniform way to create quick links would be excellent.

roman_r_m · 2021-01-25T09:58:15.435Z

As far as I know, the WYSWYG editor is completely different so getting it to work there means essentially doing it from scratch. Well, except for the part that fetches notes but that is the easy part.
In fact, I'm not even sure it's possible with WYSWYG at all.

@laurent do we have any plugin outlets to enable this in WYSWYG mode ?

roman_r_m:

Thanks for a link. Haven't seen that discussion.
It would be best if those two had unified structure:
joplin://tag/<tag id>
same as
[#tag](:/tag/<tag id>).

I'll cross post in mentioned thread to suggest it.

7 posts were merged into an existing topic: Plugin doesn't run on Joplin 1.6

This is AWESOME!

Great job! Been flitting around looking at some other options (Obsidian, Trillium), partly due to quick links, but just keep coming back to Joplin. This is another reason to stay! Great to see so much movement in the plugin development over the last weeks.

I was on same situation

A post was split to a new topic: Could not install plugin: No manifest for plugin ID ’undefined’

Great plugin! It would be fantastic to combine this with the backlinks plugin into a single plugin that finally implements Zettelkasten in Joplin!

tessus · 2021-01-28T21:00:14.656Z

I'm against combining plugins. In that case somebody should create a new one that has all the features or one has to install several plugins. e.g. I don't care about backlinks at all, especially if such a plugin would automatically change my notes' body.

This plugin does exactly what its name says.

roman_r_m · 2021-01-28T21:01:21.915Z

I thought about it, shouldn't be too hard to add.

There are a few design choices to be made though, e.g. should it insert backlinks at the top or at the bottom? If at the top, I think it clutters the note, but on the other hand with backlinks at the end if you need to update your note you need to insert new text just before backlinks, and so on.

It would have been much easier if this was supported by Joplin core.

tessus · 2021-01-28T21:35:11.736Z

If you really plan to add this, can you please make the backlinks thing optional via a setting?

roman_r_m · 2021-01-28T21:38:32.596Z

I do not have immediate plans to do this but if I ever will -- sure.

ambrt · 2021-01-28T22:11:40.771Z

Just to understand correctly - you would want to backlinks be suggested after @@ ?

109767345 · 2021-01-29T21:00:50.447Z

Sorry if this was unclear: I was not suggesting replacing the two plugins with a single one, but either adding backlinks as an option for this plugin, or creating a new plugin that harmoniously combines both functionalities according to the principles of Zettelkasten.

I think adding backlinks at the end of a note makes more sense.

But I agree that native support for backlinks and Zettelkasten features would be fantastic. This would allow users to place less emphasis on notebook hierarchy and treat notes more like nodes in a knowledge base. Having a graph view of the notes would be great too.

I'm also a non-techie. I look forward to getting the JPL file. Thanks.

CalebJohn · 2021-01-30T20:05:31.840Z

@IanHinton Installing from a JPL is probably the "techie" way of installing plugins.
For the rest of us, we can install from Tools -> Options -> Plugins and just search for any plugin you want. One click install!
