🔖 Feature description

This feature request is made to satisfy the following statement: Grab the next task then get all tasks that share context with it. #1939 Also shares this goal in different way.

In many modern task management app's it's possible to click on a tag and get a list of tasks with the tag. This feature request corresponds to obtaining that without creating a special popup ui.

✔️ Solution

It could be done by creating a note with a task query. Some required steps are as follows.

Feature's steps

1. create or open a markdown note specified by user
2. paste the generated query

```tasks
    tag includes #<clicked on tag>
    <some user defined query>
```

User's steps

1. User must define the query.
2. User must define a single note location or a folder location to cache the results of each query.
3. User clicks on a tag monitored by the tasks plugin.

Hi, Obsidian controls what happens when you click on a tag.

I think is proposing a very specific behaviour that would not be consistent with the standard Obsidian behaviour.

In case it helps, the way I solve what I think you are asking is:

• I have about 15-20 contexts that I use for where to do a task - things like:
  • #context/home
  • #context/email etc...
• I have a note for each of these, called e.g.
  • 02 - Context - home
  • 02 - Context - email etc...
• I have a Templater template which I use to put a standard set of searches in each of these files...

For example:

• A section with Tasks search that shows all the tasks with the context tag, that happens before tomorrow
• As above, but happens in future
• As above, but tasks with no date

It's a bit repetitive but it works really well.

Then when I am in a particular context, I open the note that has the pre-made searches for that context.

It works well, and you can make the searches as simple or complicated as you like.

That works really well. Even clicking on it in the tasks menu brings up Obsidian search. If that's sorted a to z it's at the top. It's only one extra click. Thanks for the implementation.

I agree that it isn't obsidian like. It could also cause confusion if some tags are for context and some are for query. I'm going to close the issue. Thanks again.

For anyone that might see this. This is my template script using the templater plugin.

file: settings/templates/tasks/context template.md

<%*
	let title = '02 - Context - '
	let suffix = await tp.system.prompt(title);
	await tp.file.move(`/settings/contexts/${title}${suffix}`); 
-%>
<%'#context/'+suffix%>
```tasks
tag includes #context/<%suffix%>
```
