link draft + insert backlink
Shows the Drafts select dialog to choose a draft you want to link to. if you select a draft a [[wiki-style-link]]
will be added at the current cursor position.
In the selected draft a backlink section will be created at the end if it is not yet existing. A link back to the current draft will be inserted there.
If you find this useful and want to support me you can donate or buy me a coffe

const backlinkSectionTitle = "backlinks" linkDraftFromSelectionAtCurrentCursorPosition(); function linkDraftFromSelectionAtCurrentCursorPosition() { let d = getDraftFromSelection() if (!d) { // no draft was selected → terminate app.displayInfoMessage("no draft selected") return 0 } // a draft was selected insertLinkToDraft(d) insertLinkBacklinkToDestinationDraftFromSourceDraft(draft, d) } /** * let the user select a Draft with Drafts select interface * @returns Draft */ function getDraftFromSelection() { return app.selectDraft(); } /** * insert a link to the given Draft at the current cursor position * @param {Draft} destinationDraft the Draft you want to link to */ function insertLinkToDraft(destinationDraft) { editor.setSelectedText(`[[${destinationDraft.displayTitle}]]`); } /** * insert a backlink to the sourceDraft at the linkedDraftsSection in the destinationDraft * @param {Draft} sourceDraft the Draft you want to link from * @param {Draft} destinationDraft the Draft where you want to insert the link to the sourceDraft */ function insertLinkBacklinkToDestinationDraftFromSourceDraft(sourceDraft, destinationDraft) { // don't allow linking to the same draft if (sourceDraft == destinationDraft) { return 0 } let linkText = `[[${sourceDraft.displayTitle}]]` const backlinkSectionStartingText = `---\n\n## `+ backlinkSectionTitle + `\n\n` //check if text is already in given draft d if (destinationDraft.content.includes(backlinkSectionStartingText)) { // already present, only add link // check if link is already exisitng let backLinksSectionText = destinationDraft.content.split(backlinkSectionStartingText)[1] if (!backLinksSectionText.includes(linkText)) { destinationDraft.content = destinationDraft.content.trim() + "\n- " + linkText } } else { // its the first backlink - add section marker and link destinationDraft.content = destinationDraft.content.trim() + "\n\n" + backlinkSectionStartingText + "- " + linkText } destinationDraft.update() }
