Linking Canvas files in Chat

[uros-mil]

Do you plan to add support for .canvas files in Chat? At the moment I'm able to only link .md files in chat.

I'm using great plugin "Augmented Canvas" to build knowledge graph about area I'm learning/researching. I was hopping to use SC Chat to do investigation of generated content in the canvas.

"Smart Connections Files" is showing links to other notes in my Vault. :) Based on that, I've expected that Chat would be able to link canvas files and use it, but it doesn't. :(

Hey @uros-mil

I've played around with this a bit. I have a script that converts .canvas into a usable format for Smart Connections, but I haven't fully implemented it. This would allow canvas use as context, which seems like what you're trying to do.

I've also reached out to the creator of Cannoli, which is a canvas-based AI plugin, about integrating with Smart Connections.

In short, I have been thinking about how canvas might better be integrated.

As actions (aka "tools" and "function calling") get better integrated, I imagine there will be even more cool workflows that can be made on canvases via the chat.

Any workflow ideas you might have for using canvases would also be interesting to know.

Thanks for the question; it helps me better prioritize potential features. 🌴
