My markdown files are all named uniquely using a date format such as: "2019-07-11" but I have discovered that the wiki links cannot be followed if the following characters are contained in the filename '-' or '/' or '_' as examples - I'm sure there are more characters not supported.

This character limitation limits the usefulness of the wiki links feature enormously. Is this a bug or is their a way to overcome it?

I noticed that for the journal entries, at least, replacing - with . in the link works. So [[2019.07.11]] links to the 2019-07-11.md file.

@mitchvm It will work if you just need link following. Backlinks will not work from my experience.
