#### WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

_Define a specific feature that is missing or could be improved:_.

I recommend creating a new Type: Quotes  
without a Title in the Template

and with the possibility of integrating it into a page and making it appear in its entirety (not just a few words).  
Of course we can add the Relation: “Author”, or “source”.

#### HOW IT COULD BE DONE

_Detail the solution you’d like to use to get what you need:_

I’ve already tried to create either a page or a Note,  
but in the page, I can’t remove the H1 Title  
and in the Note I can’t create a Template

the ideal would be to Create a Type called "Quote  
with a direct place to insert the quote  
and a Relation for the Author.

#### REAL-WORLD USE CASES

_Describe exactly how this feature would be used and why it should be implemented:_.

Have a set list of all my quotes  
To be able to add quotations to a book summary sheet  
Be able to find all an author’s quotes

When I’m on a Page and I want to insert an @quote, I’d like it to appear in full, not just at the beginning.

#### RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

_ᅟPlease explain any workaround or feature you may have considered:_

#### ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

_ᅟIf additional context, people or related feature requests need to be mentioned, do so here:_

please, respect the Feature request formating.

About your idea, why don’t you simply create your own Quote type? Do you know that you can?

The following use case will demonstrate why we need the ‘quote’ format, but perhaps not exclusive to quote. Object without title (and also cover picture enabled) makes

And the following describe the logic and design between such format more than object layer, but also a block level usage. Like @Logic your own case - your contributions are acknowledged 😉

P.S. If you feel like you have more contributions, write up another section as comments with the feature request format 💪. We can always fill up what others can’t or didn’t do, to make ourselves and outcome stronger (that is if we have power to do so only)

So I see that you feel as retricted than me about how Relations could be more useful than what they actualy are 😃

@sambouwer Why did this post been Unlisted? If a contribution is not appropriate or wrongly displayed, don’t we/you have to find ways to fix it first?  
Don’t you find that a bit censorious?

@Logic If we start fixing it, then we have to fix it for everybody.  
This is not something we want to do as our time is as limited as everybody elses and we like spending it to help the project.

So if someone wants to have the devs spending their time to implement something at least the time should be spent to use the template made by the team. Franck didn’t respect it on multiple topics which shows it’s not a thing happening once. I think we are very relaxed with that. But showing the user is doing it on purpose.

So this is not meant to censor anyone. Just a little reminder to please value the time of the team who has to read trough all of it and spend the little amount of time (compared to reading and implementing) needed on a feature request. If that’s done we are happy to list it.

Ive used a ‘Quote’ Database in Notion to achieve this. To work in AT it would need bi-directional links or rollups. Basically the Object has a type of ‘Quote’ with Relations linked to ‘Books’ or ‘Research Questions’

edit: it would be even better if you could PULL the content from the database and DISPLAYT it on another page by the use of an OBJECT-ID
