SNW Counters in Properties

Comprehensive-Jason opened this issue · comments

Obsidian 1.4 released Properties, which provides a new visual editor for YAML metadata that works with internal links.

Currently, SNW does not show counters for links in Properties. Could this be added?

This is a great idea. I had already been wanting something like this, but this might be the right time to add it. How would you visualize it appearing?

For example, a count of how many times the property is used? How about the value if reused? (This one I am not sure bout).

I think links in properties act mostly like an improved version of Dataview internal links.

It lets us replace dataview entries of Entry:: [[linkedFile]] with YAML instead like Entry: "[[linkedFile]]"

As such, I think SNW should just use its previous behavior with internal links, showing a counter next to each internal link for how many times said file has been linked.
