Can it suggest an existing filename to create a link if the few initial words match? This would help in cases where we might have forgotten the full filename in the vault, especially when there are many files over time. Providing suggestions, similar to how Google does, would allow us to link to already existing files more efficiently.

Thank you for the plugin.

Hello. I have noticed that after installing the plugin, the program's interface freezes and there are delays after commands. This is especially noticeable when switching between notes, navigating internal links, moving between cells, or adding rows/columns in tables. When I disable the plugin, everything works smoothly. Is this an issue on my end or a characteristic of the plugin? Can this be optimized in some way, like creating a cache or something similar?

Will it support aliases recognition

I did this in the Settings page

For a hardcoded links that is not in wiki format, it is still recognized as a virtual link

Request:
Would it be possible to add some sort of setting that prevents the glossary note from referencing itself when you are hovering over the linked note? If this is already implemented (and I am missing something), could you please let me know what setting I need to change? Thank you so much!

Note: I have the "Exclude self-links to the current note" toggled on, but I don't think this is related to my issue

Example:

1. Create a definition note which contains an example of the word within the note

2. Create another note referencing that word

3. Hover over the linked word, and then hover over the word inside the linked note (and repeat infinitely)

Currently the glossary only links to words/phrases with the same case, would it be possible to alter it or add an option to allow case-insensitive auto-linking? e.g.

Also it doesn't link if there are symbols in front of the word/phrase like if you try to italicize a word it won't work. e.g.

When I activate the Virtual Linker plugin, the Linter plugin setting page stops working/showing. If I deactivate Virtual Linker plugin, it starts working again.

If "pygame.md" exists as a note, then a backticked pygame.init is rendered as follows:

Now if you try to convert this to a real link via the context menu, you get a nonsensical result since links do not work within backticks: [[pygame]].init

Furthermore, pygame is still offered up as a convertible link and converting once more to a real link yields

FWIW, within triple backticks the behaviour looks correct in that virtual links are not offered.

A very useful plugin, can you add a one click conversion function to real/virtual links?
For example:
Convert to real link (existing functionality)
Convert a single file to real/virtual link
Convert the vault to real/virtual link

I'm experimenting with using this in my vault and I noticed that there are a couple of issues which are visible in the attached screen shot. As you can see if I use the same word several times "virtual linker" will render every instance as a link. This gets very "busy". In Wikipedia, and many other websites, the norm is to just link the first time, to let the reader be able to follow the link and learn, but not clutter every instance with the link.

Notice that I used the excellent feature from #6 at the beginning of the file. Kudos for using the link alias function of links to preserve the exact usage at that point in the document.

I suggest a toggle for us that prefer "render only first match of a link" (which should also be triggered by real links, e.g. my example)

This plugin helped me a lot because I could find potential links while browsing the body text without having to open the outgoinglinks panel

Now I have a new FR to add a way to convert some of these links to real links
For example, adding options to the right-click menu. (It could be another implementation, but this is the only one I have in mind for now

by the way, I'm not sure if you know another note-taking software siyuan, I really like siyuan's virtual reference, but there is no plugin to implement it in obsidian. Finally I found your plugin and it basically met my needs. Thanks again for your work.

          ya this plugin is awesome! great work. exclude folders would be great if possible

maybe modifier click, or right click option to remove link too

Hi, would like to see an option for when you have a note open, there won't be any links on that page to itself. I think it's cleaner for me this way.

obsidian.md-1720419163957.log

I have an existing note called qubit. Any mentions of 'qubit' get converted to [[qubit.md|qubit]]
The link could be shortened to just [[qubit]]which is more legible IMO.

In my vault, the note "function" has "functions" as an alias. The "Convert to real link" feature acts differently on the alias.

In a new note, the first mention of "function" gets converted to [[function]]
whereas the first mention of "functions" gets converted to [[function.md|functions]]
with a redundant .md extension.

Thanks for your amazing work! It helps a lot!

Typing Chinese (IME on) after a virtual link at the beginning of a sentence can cause display errors.

This situation also occurs at the beginning of a list and a quote.

This situation does not occur when it is in the middle of a sentence.

Given input:

[[qubit]]
- qubit
- [[entropy]]
- entropy (2)
entropy (3)

qubit.md and entropy.md are pre-existing notes. Link once is enabled in the plugin.
FYI, the superscript values (41, 3) in the screenshots are reference counters from the Strange new worlds plugin. Disabling that plugin does not resolve the issue as far as I can see.

This renders as

I'd expect entropy (2) not to be a link candidate.

Converting entropy (2) to real link yields

Now entropy (3) has become a link candidate, which is unexpected.

Parsing seems to cover URLs as well. Is there a way of disabling this?

Unfortunately currently it doesn't. Could that be changed?

In #3 someone asked to have case insensitive matches for glossary entries. Now I want to ask for the option to have case sensitive matches instead, sorry 😅

For example I sometimes write about medical topics and thus have added the glossary entry “WHO” (World Health Organization). Now every time I write e.g. “someone who ...” in my documents, the “who” is automatically linked to the WHO glossary entry.
While this is of course not a huge issue, it can become annoying and I would love to be able to toggle case sensitivity for glossary entries back on.

          but when i test tag ignore feature, it's not working

Virtual Linker Setting:

Thanks!

I chose to not have it run on all folders, and specified one specific folder, and it still runs on every note in my vault.

Insert a table and add known note names as headings or rows. Both headings and rows are recognized by virtual linker.
None of the entries can be converted to real links. Nothing happens when you try do this operation via the context (popup) menu.

In my vault, both vector and function are pre-existing notes.

| vector | function |
| ------ | -------- |
| vector | function |

A fast toggle-command for turning Virtual linker on/off without having to go inside the settings would be nice.

Just wanted to say thank you!

Hope you'll add the support of Live Preview soon. :)

I would love to be able to set the same or subfolder where the glossary is originating from

Thanks for your work, I love this plugin, it solves a big problem
But I now have a few features,highlight potential links only if the filename is all in English. Can you add Chinese support?

vector is aliased to vectors
eigenvalue is aliased to eigenvalues
eigenvector is aliased to eigenvectors
All three terms already have real links.

Not sure why eigenvalue is proposed for linking twice and vector once.
I have selected the option to "Only link once". The "Include headers" options is also selected.

My markdown content is here:

If $T$ has a one-dimensional invariant subspace $U$, it is generated by some non-zero [[vector]] $u \in V$, that is, $U = \{ au \mid a \in \mathbb{F} \}$. This means that $Tu = \lambda u$ for some $\lambda \in \mathbb{F}$. 

By definition, $\lambda$ is an [[eigenvalue]] of $T$ and $u$ is the [[eigenvector]] corresponding to $\lambda$.
# Example: Eigenvalues of a rotation
Consider the operator $R(x, y) = (-y, x)$, so $R: \mathbb{F}^2 \to \mathbb{F}^2$ .

Any eigenvalue of $R$ satisfies the equation $(-y, x) = \lambda(x, y$), with the solutions $y = -\lambda x$, $x = \lambda y$, which gives $y = -\lambda^2 y$ and so $\lambda = \pm i$. The two eigenvectors are
- $(1, -i$) with eigenvalue $i$
- $(1, i)$ with eigenvalue $-i$.
This means there are no eigenvalues when $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{R}$ which makes sense, since the operator $R$ can be interpreted as a counterclockwise rotation of $\pi/2$. No vector in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is left invariant under this transformation.

In $\mathbb{C}^2$, we get the eigenvalues as calculated above.

When I open my dailynote, I found that the text in the heading section is also being added as virtual links, which is not the expected result. Can we exclude the suggestion of heading text?
