Obsidian Plugin for opening (and logging) random notes from a folder

Have you catalogued all your records (books, films) in your vault? Then pick a random one to listen/read/watch!

Creates another note with a log of the files you opened. Lots of time? Open several, enjoy them all 🎵

Network use

If Append Wikipedia link is enabled in settings, the picked note's title and the words from Wikipedia search terms (by default its artist/author property) are sent to the Wikipedia search API (en.wikipedia.org) to find a matching article. Nothing else leaves your vault, and the option is off by default.
