Folder Links

Clicking a link to a folder makes it revealed in the navigation.

Have you ever wanted to link to a folder? This plugin adds a frequently requested feature to Obsidian.

Features:

  • Click on link to an existing folder reveals folder in navigation
  • Click on link to a non-existing folder creates new folder
  • resolved/unresolved styling
  • Outgoing links & graph view support
  • Auto-renaming folder links after renaming or moving folder (same as with regular markdown files)
  • supports usage of display text (e.g. [[MyFolder/ | MyCustomText]])

How to use

Add a / at the end of a regular internal link. If the folder exists it will be revealed.

Warning: Renaming or moving a folder you already linked won't update those folder links (for now).

[[MyFolder/]]
[[MyFolder/MySubfolder/]]

[[MyFolder/ | MyCustomText]]

Extension Ideas

  • Fuzzy Folder Suggestion Box (like the Obsidian internal link suggestion)
  • Option to instead of revealing folder in navigation open a index view in a tab/view that shows context of that folder
    • in combination with Folder Notes?
