Mentions Mention Articles Links
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Persistent Mention Article Links
How does this feature request address the current situation?
What If?
What if there was another type of mention article link?
A Persistent Mention Article Link.
In the attached article for this suggestion you will see I used an article block inside a container with a splash of css to remove all of the "blocky" stuff and leave the article link. Please click the article link below to see the persistent mention example.
The name is based on the current article name.
The link persists regardless of renaming the article
Please note this suggestion IS NOT a suggestion of how to implement this.
Only a suggestions to provide ...
A persistent mention article link
Link name updates as the article is renamed
Link does not break when renaming the article
Easy to call like a mention
What Next ...
What would it look like?
How would it be triggered?
What if it defaulted to persistent?
What if it could be called as the current mention?
What if it could be named as it is now?
I am sure there is a better way and deeper technical details...
Below are a few recommendations by World Anvil users...
Leading Recommendation
The beauty of this is a mention brings the * which uses the article name as it is currently, this functions identical to and Article Block Title. This also does not break any existing use of the mention in a
Named method. To not use the persistent * you do what you do now provide your own name.
PERSISTENT MENTION (DEFAULT)
