The plugin looks very promising and I installed it but nowhere I see help or instructions, no new icons on my obsidian panel and the hotkey can be set just to refresh link navigation. Further, this github doesn't help to clarify anything

how the hell is supposed to work this plugin ??????

Hey, Many thanks for checking out the plugin!

The plugin simply allows to navigate between links in your note.

  1. Install the plugin

  2. Open any new note which has links embedded e.g.: in the below example my current note has 2 links

    • image
  3. At the top of each note, you'll see two new elements INLINKS & OUTLINKS which you can click on to see Detailed Link View. This view shows a hierarchy of links related to your current note.

    • ← INLINKS (X): Shows how many notes link to the current note.
    • OUTLINKS (Y) →: Shows how many links are in the current note.
    • image
    • Or in a graph it would look something like this: image
  4. You can specify how deep you see the link connections by adjusting "Depth".

    • image
    • Or in graph view it would appear like this: image
  5. For instance if you would like to see what link are inside Note 1 or Note 2, from within the note you are currently in - then, you can toggle the "Toggle outlinks of inlinks" button:

    • image
    • This allows you to to open Links which were embedded inside previous notes but without actually needing to navigate via them. As you can simply Click on any link in the detailed view to open that note or Use Cmd/Ctrl + Click to open a link in a new tab.
    • For instance in the screenshot, we could click on "Note1-1" to open it directly, without needing to go the long route via "Note1" and only then to "Note1-1"
  6. Some other features:

    • Refresh Button: Click this to update the link data if you've made recent changes.
    • Canvas Links Toggle: Turn this on/off to show/hide links from Canvas files.
    • Outlinks of Inlinks Toggle: This shows you what other notes your inlinks link to.
    • Hover Preview: Hover over the "INLINKS" or "OUTLINKS" text (without expanding the detailed view) to see a quick list of linked notes.

Hope this explains things a little.

Thanks for your deeply complete explanation. I also just discovered that I couldn't see anything about the plugin submenu because I didn't have enabled "Show tab title bar" in the options.

Thanks again

Thanks for reporting back! I will try to implement the check for the "title bar" in the next release 🙏
