(First post, so do let me know if this is a helpful contribution or better taken elsewhere. I’ve considered moving to (filename.md) but they don’t really serve the same function when it comes to this kind of workflow and they tend to break my train of thought and having to switch to the preview pane to click them is annoying. I currently use my notes across mac, windows, iOS and Android so would rather avoid using Obsidian-specific or less widely accepted formatting like the ] for link display. Obsidian is a versatile toolbox: with 25 core plugins, 659 community plugins, and 131 themes, plus custom styling, you can tweak Obsidian to work and look exactly how you want it. We want you to build your own system, play with it, tweak it, until youre happy. ( This post seems to describe a similar experience.) The problem I keep coming across is that I prefer not to have spaces in filenames (which makes scripting easier) but if I use ], the unlinked mentions feature won’t work I think this is probably a separate issue (any thoughts welcome), but being able to search by H1 or title for link autocomplete would get me close to this kind of workflow. Obsidian is built to be extensible from the ground up. Having said that, because Obsidian makes it really easy to change links when renaming files, I’ve been trying out using descriptive filenames, which has made the writing experience much smoother because I can just link any ] as I go, and auto-complete makes this pretty seamless. If link auto-complete worked by typing a title as an alternative to filename, this would allow me to connect concepts much more easily. I currently use the naming convention YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-hyphenated-title.md and am considering removing the text portion of this to avoid having to change the filename each time I want to change the title of the note. I’ve been trying to make my mind up about the common question of IDs vs titles as filenames. Related request, but specific to graph view:
