Insert wiki-links instead of linking to id about alfred-bear HOT 9 CLOSED

I'm sorry for not being more clear.

Fwiw, backlinks are out of beta as of Bear V2 a couple of months ago:
https://bear.app/faq/how-to-use-the-info-panel-table-of-contents-and-backlinks-in-bear/

I also like to open links in new windows. IMO this should not be hard coded into the link, but a setting in Bear. I'll file a feature request with Bear and see how it goes.

Bear support said they will consider this setting, "open links in new window", for future releaes. This would be the best solution IMO.

Implemented in #67. Looking forward to Bear adding that global setting.

Is there a way for you to create a wiki-link purely with markdown without using mouse gestures? I'm afraid mouse gestures are beyond the scope of the workflow.

from alfred-bear.

I see that you can use [[<note title>]] but I'm not seeing a way to add the &new_window=yes parameter, which would be an unacceptable alteration to the default behavior for my personal workflow since I very rarely use the main window.

I could consider it for a new modifier key other than <shift> if there is enough interest for this. Probably displacing <shift-cmd> for table of contents and changing table of contents to <option-cmd>.

I'm not sure what you mean. The links you create are shown in my first screen shot. I don't see any new_window parameter in this link.

If I create a link manually, by typing [[title of another note]], I can then cmd-click on this link to open the linked note in a separate window.

Here is a link that I will paste directly from the workflow by holding shift when selecting it and pressing enter:

[cron / crontab](bear://x-callback-url/open-note?id=7DC7E782-AE71-47BE-BD89-6ABFA0B8C7A6-14789-00000CA27EBD6C4C&show_window=yes&new_window=yes)
Notice the &new_window=yes.

Are you saying it isn't functioning like this for you? On reflection, I'm a little confused what the problem is unless you just don't like how the shift-cmd links look.

from alfred-bear.

I see. I was misunderstanding what you meant by backlinks (may have been helpful to explain this in your original post):
https://beta.bear.app/t/bear-2-beta-happy-holidays-update-10084-aka-backlinks/6606

That is a pretty useful feature but it does really suck that you have to cmd-click links to open them in a new window. I'll have to think about whether this is worth overwriting the base shift link or have it displace the current shift-cmd for ToC paste. Either way, I will implement it though since it is a core feature.

from alfred-bear.

Completely agree. Thanks for making the feature request.
