First release of Lightweight Mentions: a plugin for people who mention way more things than they actually want to turn into full notes.

What it does

  • Type @ (configurable) followed by a name.
  • Matches an existing note → links straight to it.
  • Nothing matches yet → appends a heading to a shared stub file (Mentions.md by default) and links to that instead of forcing you to create a whole new note.
  • Run Promote mention to full note whenever a stub deserves better: it extracts the heading into a real note (optionally through a template) and rewrites every existing link across the vault to point at the new note instead of the old heading.

Install

Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css below and copy them into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/lightweight-mentions/. Or add it as a beta plugin via BRAT using this repo's URL.

See CHANGELOG.md for details.

Known limitations

  • One global stub file — no per-topic/per-folder stub files yet.
  • Heading matching for promotion is by exact text + heading level, so renaming a stub heading by hand before promoting can break the link rewrite.
  • No alias support yet on file mentions.
