Note aliases

Václav Vančura
It would be awesome to have aliases for notes, similar to how Obsidian handles them.
Imagine a note that would be named "Reflect," but as the product the note describes had a codename "Project World Wide Brain," a lot of older notes referencing this note would have broken backlinks.
Another example would be a family member (
#person
) called Filip. As I refer to him sometimes as Filip, but sometimes as Filipek and a couple of other ways along the way, the possible backlink detection wouldn't be able to find these notes to link to. Aliases would help.Obsidian does it this way: at the beginning of the file, there is a meta field where you can specify many file attributes. In the case of aliases, this is how a file Filipek.md would look:
---
aliases: ["Filipek", "Filip", "Fila"]
---
(The rest of the file Filipek.md)
This way, every instance of "Fila" across the graph could be backlinked to this very file.

Any chance this will get mobile support too?

Jonathan Simcoe: that's not really alias support though, it's just concatenating keywords into the title, which show up awkwardly everywhere

Donny Reynolds: Ah got it.

Jonathan Simcoe: I realize that since then this has been changed to “//“ which is much better and works as an actual alias when backlinking
