[FEATURE REQUEST] Add alternatives to file name in the file suggester #467

Open lyndhurst opened 1 year ago

lyndhurst commented 1 year ago

Problem I cannot use the "capture" file suggester in vaults where I use UUIDs instead of human readable file names.

Solution Allow to list files in the suggester using first level header, or front matter fields like title.

Additional context So far only my zettelkasten vault uses alphanumeric strings as file names, but I am quickly migrating all my notes to that naming scheme now that I managed to create a script to generate filenames automatically thanks to the (great) templater plugin. Which means I won't be able to use the QuickAdd suggester anymore :( This is a workflow disaster for me, please help !

As you can imagine this is a problem for many features in obsidian. I managed to workaround it by adding a title field in the front matter for plugins like excalibrain; many programs need this field anyway to function properly, like dataview or jekyll would not use the first level header which I understand can be tricky to implement reliably.

Finally this plugin allows me to display more or less anything I want instead of file names in the graph, tabs, file explorer, search... So if you were to agree to look into this issue, this might be a good starting point.

Thanks for your time once again :+1:
