FR: For embedding files, can I create a new note on the spot?

[Crowbrammer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm drawing, and I'm basically trying to create a hyperlink from my handwriting to another note. The currently available solution is to embed a new file and put it beside the handwriting, but as it stands, I can't create a new file on the spot. I need to create a new file, name it, then come back and link it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Enable me to create a new note on the spot when embedding a file.

Huge bonus: Enable me to hyperlink handwriting/drawings to notes, etc.

Real-life usage scenarios

I'm mindmapping pieces of a goal. Some of these pieces require further record-keeping that's too much for the current diagram and needs to go to another note (or another Excalidraw).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Create a new note, come back, embed it.

There are three ways to create a note on the spot.

• If it is a text note, you can create a text element with the initial content for the text, then right click on the text element and select "Convert to file" from the context menu.
• Add an element with a link to the new file [[my new file]] when you click to navigate it, you'll be prompted to create the file.
• Start to create the drawing. Select the elements you want to move to another image and run the deconstruct selected elements script (you need to install the script from the script library) more info here: https://youtu.be/HRtaaD34Zzg

There are probably other ways as well, but these come to mind immediately.

• well, you could create an Excalidraw script to automate the whole process... there are some similar scripts in the script library. like "Create new markdown file and embed into active drawing"

@zsviczian, thank you so much for the quick and thorough reply. I think this will work just nicely.
