Property Over File Name for Obsidian

Replaces the default file name display and search with a specified note property, allowing you to find and reference notes by that property instead of the file name.

Chinese summary

用指定的笔记属性替代文件名进行搜索、显示和插入笔记,方便通过属性而非文件名来查找和引用笔记。

Key Use Cases

  • Finding notes by a property value instead of file name
