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.
