[Idea] Treatment for Block References

[FelipeRearden]

Hello @SkepticMystic !!!!!

I’m starting to test some real workflows and I found something that I’d like to share.

I think we need a treatment for block refs links . For block refs I’m referencing to [[note_name#^id|alias_name]]

• For example [[Book_LN#^65be2a|alias]]

In my humble opinion these types of links should not be in the GA :)

• My suggestion is a toggle in the settings to let the user exclude or not these items from GA.

My Workflow

I use Obsidian to create personal notes about the Books that I’m reading. I have two notes for each book

• Book Name LN -> all highlights that I gather from reading the book
• Book Name AN -> it’s my personal writing where I write about the book in my own words

Book Name AN have 300/400 blocks refs from Book Name LN because I need to reference everything I write about the book with it’s original source

• Many times the Book Name LN is in English and I write in Portuguese -> I need block refs to connect my writing /translation in Portuguese with the original text in English!

My Workflow applied to GA

I’m gonna write about Joe Biden in the [[Joe Biden]] note;
In my [[Book Name]] I have a line about [[Joe Biden]];

When looking at GA I have this scenario:

As you can see, I have [[Book Note LN]] in my Co-Citation type view only with my block refs links

Since I have 300/400 links per note would be a long list in my GA without any analysis to make :)

One comment about block refs: If this become an FR i just like to comment that we need to consider the alias |alias_name when excluding block ref links :)

Thanks for reading this!

Have a great day!
