Canvas Node Linker

Giuseppe MastrodomenicoGiuseppe Mastrodomenico36 downloads

A simple plugin that adds a right-click menu on Canvas nodes to instantly copy a wikilink of the node.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates1

Canvas Node Linker adds a "Copy Node Link" entry to the right-click menu of any canvas node or group. One click copies a ready-to-paste wikilink to your clipboard:

  • Text nodes — uses the first heading found in the node's content as display text
  • Groups — uses the group label as display text
  • No heading / no label — copies a bare link with no display text

if you don't need the node Wikilink option, consider this plugin

[[my-canvas.canvas#a1b2c3d4|My Heading]]   ← node with heading
[[my-canvas.canvas#e5f6g7h8|My Group]]     ← group with label
[[my-canvas.canvas#i9j0k1l2]]              ← node with no heading
