Re-add "link" button to unlinked mentions highlights #16

I have a selection of pages where I make use of the unlinked mentions feature to find relevant page links and then link them up to the page I am working from. In general this plugin adds much more context, but it break this workflow and makes it hard for me to see that I actually have an existing page to link to and work from. Obsidian has had a quick button to click and create an actual link for a while, which this plugin removes (as far as I can see - I did check for theme incompatbility). I would like for it to be re-added to the unlinked mentions section, so that unlinked mentions can be quickly promoted to concrete links again.

This is the only thing I am currently missing from this plugin. The context it provides around the search results is excellent. It ist just lacking that 'link' button that the original built-in backlinks have...

Yep, would be awesome.

In the meantime, a simple workaround is to click on the Show more context button:

which disables the Better Search view temporarily and gives back the Link button.

+1 for this fix. Would love to see this link shown while this plugin is enabled.

I thought I was going mad, that I couldn't find the "link" button that I was sure used to be there 😂 Took me a few rounds of disabling plugins until I realised it was (rather obviously in hindsight) this one, which is otherwise awesome.

+1 🙏 I find myself switching BSF frequently off and back on due to this. :-/
