Feature Request: Add "New Unique Note" keyword

[jwmann]

Feature Requested

Obsidian has a core plugin called "Unique Note Creator" which has built-in commands to create a new unique note.

Since we already have on for regular notes, it would super useful if I we could create a unique note similarly through Alfred. Perhaps the keyword could be: onu

Thoughts?

Checklist

• [X] The feature would be useful to more users than just me.
• [X] I have checked the feature overview and the feature doesn't already exist.
• [X] Feature Requests regarding daily notes will not be implemented, since there are other Alfred workflows that do focus on daily notes already.
• [X] If it is an entirely new feature: The requested feature makes more sense to be implemented in Alfred than in a plugin. Please also explain why.

Hi, I am trying to avoid adding features that require specific plugins, since they are likely to only benefit a few users who actually use those plugins.

However, what you request is actually pretty easy to create yourself in Alfred without having to write any code at all – you can use the Advanced URI plugin to create a URI to run any command. (Advanced URI: Copy URI for command → <Don't specify a file> → Select the command you want to run.) Then you create a new workflow and have a keyword that opens that workflow.

Here I have created a simple example for triggering the Unique Note Creator via onu: Alfred workflow to run a Command in Obsidian.zip

Hope that helps!

This demo workflow is perfect, thanks for the tips! 👍
