Can't get --link-to, --linked-by etc… to work.

Here is my full zk config

# zk configuration file
#
# Uncomment the properties you want to customize.

# NOTE SETTINGS
#
# Defines the default options used when generating new notes.
[note]

# Language used when writing notes.
# This is used to generate slugs or with date formats.
language = "en"

# The default title used for new note, if no `--title` flag is provided.
default-title = "Untitled"

# Template used to generate a note's filename, without extension.
filename = "{{date now 'timestamp'}} {{title}}"

# The file extension used for the notes.
extension = "md"

# Template used to generate a note's content.
# If not an absolute path, it is relative to .zk/templates/
template = "default.md"

# Path globs ignored while indexing existing notes.
ignore = [
  "drafts/*",
  "log.md",
  ".neuron",
  "neuron.dhall",
  ".neuronignore",
  ".obsidian",
  "_templates",
  ".obsidian.vimrc",
  ".syncinfo",
  "static"
]

# Configure random ID generation.

# The charset used for random IDs. You can use:
#   * letters: only letters from a to z.
#   * numbers: 0 to 9
#   * alphanum: letters + numbers
#   * hex: hexadecimal, from a to f and 0 to 9
#   * custom string: will use any character from the provided value
id-charset = "numbers"

# Length of the generated IDs.
id-length = 12

# Letter case for the random IDs, among lower, upper or mixed.
# id-case = "lower"


# EXTRA VARIABLES
#
# A dictionary of variables you can use for any custom values when generating
# new notes. They are accessible in templates with {{extra.<key>}}
[extra]

#key = "value"


# GROUP OVERRIDES
#
# You can override global settings from [note] and [extra] for a particular
# group of notes by declaring a [group."<name>"] section.
#
# Specify the list of directories which will automatically belong to the group
# with the optional `paths` property.
#
# Omitting `paths` is equivalent to providing a single path equal to the name of
# the group. This can be useful to quickly declare a group by the name of the
# directory it applies to.

[group.work]
[group.work.note]
template = "work.md"

[group.journal]
[group.journal.note]
filename = "{{date now}}"
template = "journal.md"

# MARKDOWN SETTINGS
[format.markdown]

# Format used to generate links between notes.
# Either "wiki", "markdown" or a custom template. Default is "markdown".
#link-format = "wiki"
# Indicates whether a link's path will be percent-encoded.
# Defaults to true for "markdown" format and false for "wiki" format.
#link-encode-path = true
# Indicates whether a link's path file extension will be removed.
# Defaults to true.
#link-drop-extension = true

# Enable support for #hashtags.
hashtags = true
# Enable support for :colon:separated:tags:.
colon-tags = false
# Enable support for Bear's #multi-word tags#
# Hashtags must be enabled for multi-word tags to work.
multiword-tags = false


# EXTERNAL TOOLS
[tool]

# Default editor used to open notes. When not set, the EDITOR or VISUAL
# environment variables are used.
#editor = "vim"

# Pager used to scroll through long output. If you want to disable paging
# altogether, set it to an empty string "".
#pager = "less -FIRX"

# Command used to preview a note during interactive fzf mode.
# Set it to an empty string "" to disable preview.

# bat is a great tool to render Markdown document with syntax highlighting.
#https://github.com/sharkdp/bat
fzf-preview = "bat -p --color always {-1}"


# LSP
#
#   Configure basic editor integration for LSP-compatible editors.
#   See https://github.com/mickael-menu/zk/blob/main/docs/editors-integration.md
#
[lsp]

[lsp.diagnostics]
# Each diagnostic can have for value: none, hint, info, warning, error

# Report titles of wiki-links as hints.
#wiki-title = "hint"
# Warn for dead links between notes.
dead-link = "error"


# NAMED FILTERS
#
#    A named filter is a set of note filtering options used frequently together.
#
[filter]

# Matches the notes created the last two weeks. For example:
#    $ zk list recents --limit 15
#    $ zk edit recents --interactive
recents = "--sort created- --created-after 'last two weeks'"
work = '--group work'


# COMMAND ALIASES
#
#   Aliases are user commands called with `zk <alias> [<flags>] [<args>]`.
#
#   The alias will be executed with `$SHELL -c`, please refer to your shell's
#   man page to see the available syntax. In most shells:
#     * $@ can be used to expand all the provided flags and arguments
#     * you can pipe commands together with the usual | character
#
[alias]
# Here are a few aliases to get you started.

# override defaults
edit = "zk edit --interactive $@"

# Shortcut to a command.
ls = "zk list --interactive $@"

# backlinks
bl = "zk list --link-to $@"

# Edit the last modified note.
editlast = "zk edit --limit 1 --sort modified- $@"

wc = "zk list --format '{{word-count}}\t{{title}}' --sort word-count"

# Edit the notes selected interactively among the notes created the last two weeks.
# This alias doesn't take any argument, so we don't use $@.
recent = "zk edit --sort created- --created-after 'last two weeks' --interactive"

# Print paths separated with colons for the notes found with the given
# arguments. This can be useful to expand a complex search query into a flag
# taking only paths. For example:
#   zk list --link-to "`zk path -m potatoe`"
path = "zk list --quiet --format {{path}} --delimiter , $@"

# Show a random note.
#lucky = "zk list --quiet --format full --sort random --limit 1"

# Returns the Git history for the notes found with the given arguments.
# Note the use of a pipe and the location of $@.
hist = "zk list --format path --delimiter0 --quiet $@ | xargs -t -0 git log --patch --"

# Edit this configuration file.
conf = '$EDITOR "$ZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR/.zk/config.toml"'

# Work related
oto = 'zk new work --template 1-1.md --extra with="$*" --title "$*"'
work = 'zk new work --title "$*"'

# Personal
journal = 'zk new --group journal "$*"'

And this is a simple example to show my problem/issue.

$ZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR/work/202110031652 foo bar.md

---
title: 'foo bar'

Some note

$ZK_NOTEBOOK_DIR/work/202110031653 baz.md

---
title: 'baz'
---
<!-- link created by the lsp, not manual -->
[foo bar](202110031652%20foo%20bar)

$ zk list --link-to 202110031652
zk: error: could not find notes at: 202110031652

$ zk list --link-to "202110031652 foo bar"
zk: error: could not find notes at: 202110031652 foo bar

$ zk list --link-to "foo bar"
zk: error: could not find notes at: foo bar

$ zk list --link-to "work/202110031652 foo bar"

Thanks for the detailed example. 🙏 I could reproduce and locate the issue and will get on with the fix this week.

[mickael-menu]

@ahmedelgabri This should be fixed in main, but you will need to run zk index --force first to reindex the links.

This will work with zk list --link-to work/202110031652 but not zk list --link-to 202110031652. I'm working on this to match parts of a path.
