I certainly would want everything to be accessible more quickly… but with @ for block links as well, will it slow down the original inline links? Where and when do you picture the selection of insert style (block or inline) to take place? Maybe another symbol for block links?
Or would it be smoother for combining command palette feature and/or customisable keyboard shortcut feature? So we can customise to whatever make most sense and quickest to us individual.
There would be no selection. It would just be a hotkey. If you shift click on an entry, it would just insert it as a block instead. That’s it.
The current idea is to use [[ for block link, what do you think?
Yeah, that would work great too!
I’d just like to mention how Tana does this or something similar to this. When you use @ at the beginning of a node, you transclude the whole block. While if you use @ inside the block, you would do an inline mention similar to what AT does now.
The way this could be implemented in AT is to use @ for /link commands when you use it in an empty block, and keep the same functionality for inline mentions.
I’ve been considering the distinction between inline and block links and I find a few things confusing. How do they differ for usage?
According to the instructions I should use the / to make a block link. Originally I thought this meant that I could link to a block in another object but I’ve realized that’s probably not what it means. Rather, it creates a block in the current object, which is a link.
In effect this seems to result in the same thing as an inline link, it just occupies the entire block. I’m wondering when that would be useful? Couldn’t I make an inline link on its own, in a block, to accomplish the same thing?
It’s difficult to discern when something is a “block link” because its text appears a bit bold but not underlined or otherwise indicated. It doesn’t stand out as a link on the page.
Although I’ve got a bunch of block links that were created when I imported notes from another application, I prefer to use @ to create links because they are the only ones that are clearly visible (and in recent versions don’t cut off my text).
