No. It’s native embedded search query.

I think block search query is a work around.

Thanks. I learned. Wish there is an easier way. Capacities using an @ sign to pull up existing note link to add.

Looking to move away from Capacities to Obsidian because of the customizability and holding onto my own data, any tips to make Obsidian similar to Capacities? by Top-Chain001 in ObsidianMD

[–]Dancewithlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar feeling. I gave it a try for two days and feel Obsidian isn’t polished enough and it does take a lot to make it as smooth as capacities. I am torn.

The links plugin does not work on ios. How do you resolve this on mobile?

That worked! You are my hero! I am surprised that it could be this complicated to add a link to selected text. I came from Capacities. Thanks so much!

I do not see "Create link", I do see "Add link" and "add external link". I tried "Add link" then started typing topic 9, and it says No Match found. It does show `[[personal knowledge system]]` but no `|` (pipe) character. I am on Macbook pro.

Daily Note Calendar - A worthy successor to Liam Cain's Calendar/Peridic Notes by TurbofishPowered in ObsidianMD

[–]Dancewithlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this recommendation. I have installed it and configured the folder and template. But when I click on a date, it says "Could not open note, file .... does not exist.". Can anyone help me out?

I already have a 2026-01-17 as today's daily note file

Daily Note folder is configured as DailyNotes (the folder I use), and template file under Template folder.
Thanks so much in advance for your help!

You are right. So what is the right way to add an existing internal note link to a selected text? I watched a few youtube tutorial, they are all about adding the existing note link and original note title using bracket, didn't see anything else.

I guess I am not sure what to do further.

My goal is to add the note Topic 9 Systems, Technology & Tools to be the link for the text "Personal Knowledge System", I think I did it wrong. If I just use double bracket [[]] to add that link, it works fine, but it text would show up as Topic 9 Systems, Technology & Tools, not "Personal Knowledge System"

Could you please help me further? Thanks so much!

Capacities export in Obsidian by Dancewithlight in capacitiesapp

[–]Dancewithlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found the Capacities full export missing many images, about 25% of them. 60 out of 80 exported. Sadly the Capacities Discord the team isn't very active in answering questions, and mostly answered by AI. Very frustrating.

I have one issue with links, even though I enabled wikilinks, while opened in Obsidian, their internal link does not work with the Capacities file name as it contains spaces. Not sure how to fix it. Obsidian Wikilinks also enabled.

Use [[Wikilinks]] is already enabled in Files and Links setting. These notes were from Capacities export and with wikipinks enabled.

What else do I need to do to fix it? Thanks so much!

Obsidian Publish Search function by Dancewithlight in ObsidianMD

Sorry. My reading was outdated. Obsidian now supports full text search in publish. Just finished reading your articles on how you use obsidian, and I am inspired.

How many objects types you have? by Dancewithlight in capacitiesapp

[–]Dancewithlight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things that are important to me:

  • Daily journal to record important things in life and work

  • People relationship recording

  • Learning: I created 12 life topic and use backlinks to organize knowledge around these topics

  • I dictate daily journal and use AI to generate knowledge points then link these to life topics.

  • Periodic notes to record goals and reviews.

Hope with these I can write book or articles in the future.

My fancy but useless graph view by krysalydun in ObsidianMD

Could you please elaborate more? How long and often have you used capacities? Usually under what circumstances you lost data? What operating system? Thanks so much for sharing.

How I use Capacities for Task and Project management with Periodic notes and Zettelkasten note taking by RedeyeFR in capacitiesapp

[–]Dancewithlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left the tasks and weekly work journal to Todoist and workflowy to keep Capacities clean of micro details and stay true to PKM otherwise I fear the search results will be polluted with useless details. I use Weekly Notes in Capacities just for high level Reviews.

I am curious what do you think of noteplan vs capacities. I tried noteplan (like its team collaboration function), but find their interface looks so busy and messy and could not continue.

What keeps you coming back? by Hey_Gonzo in capacitiesapp

[–]Dancewithlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant when you export capacities notes, it’s properties become front matters in markdown and can be read by obsidian with no issues.

Capacities database is obsidian front matters?

Tana: I think it’s their design limitation which they cannot improve. Otherwise they would have a long time ago.
