Browser extensions don't have live access to filesystem. Extension can prompt you to pick file(s) but it needs to make a copy for itself if they need to be used later. So, in fact, even with such plugin you'll need to re-upload documents from time to time (or extension should pull it from other source like cloud drive, as you mentioned).
This plugin sounds quite niche, so I won't provide any ETA when (or if) it will be implemented and would like to keep this issue open and see if other users will find this idea interesting

First of all, anori is fantastic.
The feature I'm suggesting is a widget that works like "Notes", but the user is asked to choose from where to get them and how often to change them.
I have a folder full of markdown files with all sorts of information that I want to keep at the top of my mind, but I don't want to re-read 100 short text files everyday...
If the Notes widget could support getting them from somewhere and changing the one displayed either on a schedule, randomly, after so many new tab openings, etc. it would be perfect.
I really don't want to have to manually convert or enter all such information in yet another location, so it would be best and most useful for other users if they were able to choose where to get the information to display.
There are a lot of other potential options that this widget could support (e.g. getting the info from a cloud drive, csv file, etc) , but that's the basic concept.
Thanks for making anori.
