Thanks for your suggestion. I will need to think this one through.
Org-roam is planned to have a breaking change to V2, where only ID links will be supported, both files and headlines.
Given this, Md-roam will need to adapt. I think that file ID support can be added as an additional property in the YAML frontmatter.
Heading ID? I don't know yet.
At this stage, I don't use links to headings (although I think it makes sense). I am more inclined to supporting a future-proof , V2 compliant way of linking heading ID than supporting the standard markdown syntax (file.md#heading
).
What do you think?

How about handling the (filename.md#heading)
just like (filename.md)
? For me personally, knowing that file A is backlinked by file B is enough, and I only need file-level information in the graph view. This I believe can be trivially implemented by throwing away the heading information after #
.

I did not have much org-mode files in my kb, so I'm not following the updates on the org-roam side. But as someone who rarely use markdown frontmatters and heading identifiers, I suppose that will in some degree break backlinks? (unless of course md-roam can generate those IDs upon link creation or db refresh).

Oh I see. Thank you. Let me try this. I am not 100% sure if I will have enough time in March (I'm in the thick of pressing deadlines for other parts of life in March), but I am hoping to have more time in April / May.
Org-roam V2 will be a major breaking change, and yes, it will break backlinks not based on IDs (when implemented in Md-roam). I think I will cut a version, and "freeze" the version of Md-roam compatible with Org-roam V1.
I will then make the main branch of Md-roam follow the V2 main branch of Org-roam.
The V2 branch is already visible in Org-roam repo, so the change is coming very soon (but not sure exactly when).
I think 9330c58416b06828d7be4b1dfe3cfa9b885b8f60 has fixes the problem. Let me know if it still persists.
Currently, traditional markdown links can be detected for
[title](filename.md)
, but not for[title](filename.md#header)
. It would be great if the latter is also considered when generating the backlinks database.For example:
