This is related to #4, but aimed more at users who want many table views and don't want to use the projects plugin for this purpose.

Instead of creating another bar with views like projects plugin does, I've thought of an easier way to achieve that goal.

Why not link different databases as views and switch between them using obsidian command bar list?

The tasks required to make this features work are :

  1. Section in the setting with a dropdown of all the database in the vault to link them to current database ;
  2. Add a button V in obsidian bar to switch between views/linked databases with obsidian bar command bar list to quickly (See image below) ;
  3. Two commands that complements this features :
    • DBfolder: duplicate current view which means duplicating the current database file and linking the new file to the current database
    • DBfolder: create new view which means duplicating the current and removing the sorting and the filtering portions from the md file.

I really like the suggestion 👌

the problem here is that each database would behave independently.

This dropdown would search among those rows that are another database but if one changes its source it would not affect the rest.

This issue could be a solid base of the database manager epic enhancement https://github.com/RafaelGB/obsidian-db-folder/issues/558 which it will be another modal
