This plugin enables you to create links to specific groups within Canvases and jump to them in 1 click!

Usecase

Features

Direct Linking to Groups

Jump directly to any group in a canvas from a link in your notes.

Intelligent Link Handling

The plugin provides flexible navigation options:

  • Left-click a link to open the canvas in the current tab
  • Ctrl/Cmd + Click (or Middle-click) to open it in a new tab.

Link Handling

Easy Link Creation

Create links effortlessly with multiple methods:

  • Context Menu: Right-click any group and select "Copy link to group."
  • Command Palette: Select a single group and use the "Copy link to selected group" command.
  • custom hotkey for keyboard-driven workflows (Empty by default, assign to your liking (CTRL + SHIFT + C suggested))

Notifications

The plugin provides helpful feedback to guide you:

  • Notify if you try to copy a link without a group selected.
  • Notify if you jump to a group name that is used multiple times in the same canvas.

How to Use

Creating a Link to a Group

There are two primary ways to create a link to a group:

1. Context Menu (Right-Click)

This is the most direct method.

  1. Open a canvas.
  2. Right-click on the group you want to link to.
  3. Select Copy link to group.
  4. Paste the link (e.g., [[MyCanvas.canvas#GroupName]]) into any note.
2. Command Palette

This method is ideal for keyboard-driven workflows.

  1. Open a canvas and select a single group.
  2. Open the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P).
  3. Search for "Copy link to selected group" and run the command.
  4. Paste the link into any note.

Pro Tip: For even faster access, assign a custom hotkey to this command (e.g., Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + C) in Obsidian's Settings > Hotkeys.

Using the Link

Once you have a link in a note (e.g., [[MyProject.canvas#Design Phase]]), you can click on it:

  • Left-click: Opens MyProject.canvas in your current tab and jumps to the "Design Phase" group.
  • Ctrl/Cmd + Click or Middle-click: Opens the canvas in a new tab and jumps to the group.
