Request :Add Back-link Redirection and Focus Feature

[wednes78]

Describe the feature

Your plug-in is what I have wanted. it’s so useful.

I would appreciate it if the plugin could include a feature where clicking a back-link in the view redirects to the canvas and focuses on the corresponding file.

Hi @wednes78

Do you mean when your editor is presenting file A, then you click canvas B in the "Canvas the file embedded" view, the editor will jump to canvas B and focus on file A in canvas B?

If yes, I am sorry to tell you that I have tried to implement this feature in early time, but I didn't find any [API] to get the Node in Canvas nor any API to focus on the cards. I guess it is because the Canvas feature is not published for so long and we should expect the Obsidian team to update Canvas API in the future.

I will keep this feature request open and keep you posted once it is implemented. Thank you for your suggestion, it's very enlightening. and welcome to comment there if you find anything helpful.

I understood.

I hope the obsidian dev team would update.

Thank you for responding to my request.

Here is a case with canvas.zoomToBbox https://github.com/whacked/obsidian-relevance-engine/blob/2023-01_get-something-working/main.ts#L249

Here is a case with canvas.zoomToSelection https://github.com/search?q=repo%3AQuorafind%2FObsidian-Canvas-Presentation%20zoom&type=code

The code const nodes = JSON.parse(content).nodes gives x, y, height, width
