Obsidian UID link

Description

Plugin does (should do) several things:

• Open notes using Obsidian URI and note UID.
  • Customize the frontmatter field which used for navigation
• Create UID for notes

Why it was made

When you want to link an obsidian note from the external program you have an option to use Obsidian URI link like this:

obsidian://open?vault=Test&file=Text

But what happens when you change the file name? You should rename all your links across all your external program. This plugins adds ability to open notes by checking their frontmatter fields:

obsidian://open-by-uid?uid=123

How to install

1. Take the zip file (named like mrj-note-uid-0.0.1.zip) from the latest release
2. Unpack it in .obsidian/plugins inside your Obsidian vault.
3. Reload Obsidian.
4. You should see a new plugin in the Community Plugins section. Enable it.

How it works

1. Add a frontmatter id field to one of your note.
2. Open url like: obsidian://open-by-uid?uid=123 from the extrnal program where 123 is the note id which you put in the note.
3. It should open the note with that id.
