[Idea] {{highlights}} with blockref using Carry-Forward Plugin Engine
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hello @joethei !!!!1
This idea is related to an expansion of the amazing features of RSS Reader -> Highlight in Reading View and the {{highlights}}
1- Add blockref to each line that has highlighted content ^blockid;
2- when using the {{highlight}} variable, add the [[backlink]] syntax to connect [[filename#^blockref]] to the ==highlight== content
There is a plugin Called Carry-Forward that do exactly this: one of the commands sends to clipboard this syntax
{{selection}}[[filename#^blockref|alias]] where:
selectionis the text selected by the user (if nothing is selected, it will use the whole line)Aliasis a standard text defined by the user in the settings pane of the plugin;
BUT the most important thing is that Carry-Forward supports MULTIPLE CURSORS. Take a look at the images below:
I know this plugin and its features very well because I'm the one who request support for multiple cursors and who did the tests of this version.

My FR: Integration with RSS Reader
My idea is to integrate RSS Reader with Carry-Forward to make possible to have {{highlights}} with backlinks.
If the user have Carry-Forward installed/toggle=ON then the {{highlights}} will be created with backlinks and blockref in the lines with ==highlights==
I have no idea if my idea is feasible :( I'm assuming that you copy the content of ==highlight== to insert inside {{highlights}} maybe this copy method could use Carry-Forward engine if the vault has Carry-Forward installed.
Let me know what you think :)
This idea have some relation with #65
Have a great day!
This is a hard one because the Carry-Forward plugin uses some editor only functionality that I cannot use for this purpose.
Since the end result is similar to #65 I am closing this issue.
