Are you trying to embed a link to a note? If so, adding a preceding "!" to the normal link syntax "![[example.md]]" works. And the ! syntax also works with some URLs using the normal markdown link syntax 🌴

Obsidian has native "move line/selection up/down" commands. I set hotkeys for these (ALT+up/down arrows). Not quite drag-n-drop, but I've been using it for years now so it has become second nature for me and is undoubtedly an essential feature 🌴

ah sweet! i’m so glad someone has found something useful in the colophon! that’s what they’re all about ☺️
smart connections is great, it makes links to things i forgot i read, but that immediately brings back a memory of a thought as soon as i see the connection.

Just in case you don't want to be restricted to a single handwriting medium, I've been using ChatGPT to transcribe my handwriting and insert directly into Obsidian for well over a year now, the accuracy is >99% youtube.com/shorts/VjoN2...

Nice. Ad hoc plugin generation is definitely the way. A lot of times it's even faster than looking for potentially existing plugins and figuring out whether they actually do what you want 🌴

It depends. Plugins are dependencies. And you should only depend on those you trust.
For a plugin you can trust, check out Smart Connections.
But don't take my word for it, the full bundled plugin is only ~1MB, so you can easily drop it in Gemini and have it do a security audit before install.
