Finding variable definitions

[RyotaUshio]

I found some interesting posts on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/viiwqc/linking_within_equations/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/yecouc/creating_links_for_variables_in_latex_equations/

This can be implemented as block metadata of form def: <expression here> and a command searches for the definition of a specific expression.

Using the standard link syntax [[expression]] will be make notes more plugin-dependent and less future-proof, so I will not take that approach.

At this point, I'm using HTML format to write my equations so that they can have linked variables.

To call a linked equation

Use MathLinks, add the html formatted equation to the frontmatter under mathLink or mathlink-blocks, and embed the reference into your markdown document.
