Hi Obsidian legends!

I’m trying to find a way to do this:

  1. I type /@PersonsName
  2. Obsidian recognises /@PersonsName is a person because of the @ symbol
  3. Wraps in a hyperlink: [[/@PersonsName]]
  4. Creates a templated note in a specific folder e.g. /people

Is something like this possible?

    Don’t know if that’s possible but what I do is create a note for a person - for example [[Jane Doe]].

    Then I add the #people hashtag in the note which, thanks to the auto note mover plugin, sends the note directly to a specific “People” folder.

    I then go in and add to the person’s note any info I want to save for them, such as where they work, email, etc.

    This system had proven to be very helpful for work. Has helped me so many times recall where and in what context I talked with someone.

      I do something like this:

      • Today I spoke to [[people/colleagues/Mary|Mary]] about the upcoming work trip

      What this does is create a Note called Mary under people/colleagues, and instead of showing the full path, just shows Mary in the frontend.
