Make it possible to render the contents of cards that already exist in the Anki collection.

I've been looking for a way to link my flashcards to my obsidian notes lately and the first approach I thought about was by creating deep links to load the card in the anki previewer dialog, but I have no Idea about how to do it. Then I learned from the Anki Connect documentation that it's possible to use this add-on to get the informations from any card, including the question, the answer and the CSS by request of external scripts. Now that I found that your plug-in can render the contents of flashcards inside obsidian I think it'd be awesome if you made it possible to render the contents of the cards that already exists in Anki's collection inside Obsidian as well.

Thank you for taking the time to report the issue and help me to make the project better! 🙂

Please be mindful that this is a hobby project and any support I am able to offer is done at the expense of my (often hard to come by) spare time.

Thank you for the request!

Unfortunately doing a two-way conversion would be complicated and it would be very difficult to come up with an elegant solution. AnkiBridge works on a single ground truth, which is the Obsidian vault. I can't see this changing in the foreseeable future.

Cards from Anki would be unavailable when Anki isn't running or a caching layer would have to be implemented and ultimately I think a better approach would be to manually or semi-automatically convert cards into Obsidian and then use AnkiBridge to put them back into Anki — This is actually what I've been doing myself.
