Feature Request/Bug Report: Can't play Dataview generated notes #47

Closed RoomieOfficial closed 1 month ago

RoomieOfficial commented 5 months ago

Hey there,

I use Dataview to generate a document of randomly ordered "tidbits" from a folder. But when I highlight the Dataview text, aloud says "No text selected to speak". If it's possible to fix (or if there's a workaround?), that'd be amazing.

Thanks!

Unfortunately its fairly difficult to get at text that's not in the editor. I believe the way that dataview works is that it derives some text content to display. The best workaround that I can think of would be to copy the text in the dataview and paste it elsewhere to play.

If I were to implement this in the plugin, I don't think I can access the text nor trigger a copy action. I could perhaps implement functionality to play from the clipboard. It's a little awkward but I could see it still being useful (Could also be useful as a mechanism to read arbitrary content. For example: copy from browser, switch to obsidian and press play)

That’s would be very cool! No stress/pressure at all of course, I’m sure this is very niche
