Feature Description
When creating a task with [[wikilinks]] in the title (e.g. Buy milk from [[Lidl]]), the link markup is stripped and only plain text is stored. There's currently no way to reference other notes directly from a task title and have them be clickable in views.
I tried a few workarounds:
- Task description — wikilinks work there, but the description isn't visible from task cards in kanban/calendar/list views, so the links aren't reachable without opening the note
- Custom fields — I tried adding a dedicated property for linked references, but
[[ doesn't trigger Obsidian's note suggestions in custom property list type input, making it impractical to use. My custom field attempt can be seen bellow.
- Projects field — dumping all wikilinks into projects technically works, but clutters the project field with things that aren't projects
In a lot of cases it just makes sense semantically to have links in the title — tasks are often tied to specific people, places, or notes, and being able to click through from the task card is natural.
