  • Copy block link as footnote - Same as block link but wrapped in footnote syntax: ^[[[note#^blockid]]], works with multi-block selections (creates multiple footnotes on separate lines)
  • Copy anchor link - Copies just the block anchor without the file path: [[#^blockid]], works with multi-block selections (creates multiple anchors on separate lines)
  • Copy block URL - Creates an obsidian://open URL for the block: obsidian://open?vault=...&file=...%23%5Eblockid, works with multi-block selections (creates multiple URLs on separate lines)
