Backlink: §2020-04-17-1605 Expansions HUB
For further integration with org-mode
, we can create a new type of link.
Let’s call it zdlink
.
Links should be formatted like so: [[zdlink:2020-04-17-1605][link]]
.
Which results in the following link.
Please note: deft should be loaded for this to work.
First, we define org-link
parameters.
(org-link-set-parameters
"zdlink"
:follow (lambda (str) (zetteldeft--search-filename (zetteldeft--lift-id str)))
:complete 'efls/zd-complete-link
:help-echo "Searches provided ID in zetteldeft")
This tells org
about a new type of link and what to do with it:
find a zetteldeft ID in the link string, and search for it.
This means that the link will work as long as there is a zetteldeft-id-regex in it,
which implies that this, too, will work: [[zdlink:2020-04-17-1605 Expansions HUB.org][link]]
.
For convenience, we can create a small completion function.
(defun efls/zd-complete-link ()
"Link completion for `zdlink' type links"
(let* ((file (completing-read "File to link to: "
(deft-find-all-files-no-prefix)))
(link (zetteldeft--lift-id file)))
(unless link (user-error "No file selected"))
(concat "zdlink:" link)))
Now when org-insert-link
is called, simply select zdlink
from the list, and a completion window will pop up.
