Feature Request: Obsidian links on metadata. #3

Closed EhuddR closed 3 years ago

Hi! I was wonder if you can add the posibility of make clickables obsidian Links on metadata. I think this is not possible but it would be a pretty cool feature.

I haven't seen anything that suggests you can in the API but I agree it would be a great addition.

Hi @EhuddR, the new 0.7.0 adds a flag in settings for autolinks. See https://github.com/arnau/obsidian-metatable/tree/0.7.0#autolinks

You'll notice that your example:

---
tags: #literature
author: [[Noam Chomsky]]
---

won't work because the [] are reserved characters in YAML. Instead you can do:

---
tags: literature
author: "[[Noam Chomsky]]"
---

Or

---
tags: literature
author: %Noam Chomsky%
---

Thanks! This is amazing.
