Creating links is a crucial part on PKM, no difference in Dendron. In my opinion creating a wiki link is not very consistent yet:

If you start writing and make a typo and delete a char, you loose completion
pressing ctrl-space brings back completion but starts completing from the last dot.

This makes linking more uncomfortable.

Describe the solution you'd like

I Think a good solution could be having a insertNoteLink command that uses the lookup for searching the note you want without the completion caveats.

This could be extended to a two phase input where after asking for the link you get prompted for a label. This possibility will be configurable by an argument to the command (promptForLabel: true|false)

Additional context

This is as well another approach for #702 and I think it could potentially solve #473 as well

This is an excellent idea. Tagging to the next milestone for now for discussion. I see a lot of value in reducing the friction of creating links.
