Cross-linking across workspaces: Unsure if this should be a RFC or general question

[simkimsia]

I have native workspaces within projects.

And also i have my own workspace that holds my daily journal notes.

I wanted to link to a particular file in a native workspace from my daily journal.

Which i can do it via file://{absolute link} but then there will be no backlinks. I don't need easy lookup or graph to show the linkages across different workspaces, but i was wondering if it would be good to include references to other workspaces vaults?

I found workspace vault in dendron wiki

but I am confused by how it works. so i hope somebody can enlighten me.

My current personal workspace is ~/Dendron with its own dendron.yml then i have the following project-specific dendron workspaces at

• ~/Projects/projectA/docs where dendron.yml is at ~/Projects/projectA and vault is at ~/Projects/projectA/docs
• ~/Projects/projectB/docs where dendron.yml is at ~/Projects/projectB and vault is at ~/Projects/projectB/docs

To answer the title, this is a general question.

To answer the actualy question:

• to link files between workspaces, you can use the Vault Add command to also add a workspace. this adds all the vaults within the workspace into your current workspace. you can then create wikilinks between notes as usual
• NOTE: by default, dendron creates regular wiki links [[link-to-note]]. you can also create xvault links by setting enableXVaultWikiLink to true. more on that here

• to link files between workspaces, you can use the Vault Add command to also add a workspace.

So I run "vault add" this at my regular dendron workspace or in the native workspace of the project?

• NOTE: by default, dendron creates regular wiki links [[link-to-note]]. you can also create xvault links by setting enableXVaultWikiLink to true. more on that here

Same question activate this at which workspace yml?

ok i got it to work.. but I want to point out the link doesn't seem to work in preview.

my dendron setup

• /Users/kim/Dendron/vault => this is my default dendron
• /Users/kim/Projects/projectA/docs/vault => this is my projectA dendron vault
• /Users/kim/Projects/projectB/docs/vault => this is my projectB dendron vault

What i did

inside my default dendron space

• ⌘+⇧+P => Dendron: Vault Add
• local or remote => local
• path to another vault (relative to the current dendron vault) => ../Projects/projectA/docs/vault
• Name this new vault => projectA then ⏎
• ⌘+⇧+P => Dendron: configure yaml
• enableXVaultWikiLink => from False to True

now i can [[ and then call up notes even in the project dendron vaults.

It's too awesome for words.

Preview links don't work tho
