Obsidian Note Links on a Curio Idea Space

[DrJJWMac]

I have Obsidian and Curio in split view. I drag + drop an Obsidian Note (from the left-most pane) onto a Curio Idea Space. The icon shows a note with no title.

The link has to be activated from the context menu using Open URL.

Is there any way to have this show up as a jump action with the title of the Obsidian note (and perhaps the Obsidian icon)?

Follow Up: If I add title text, the figure title becomes a proper link to the note in Obsidian.

Hmm… they aren’t putting much on the clipboard. Basically just an URL like this:

obsidian://open?vault=Obsidian%20Help&file=Advanced%20topics%2FAccepted%20file%20formats

There’s an public.url-name type that they put on the clipboard, which is supposed to be used for a title, but it’s empty.

You may want to send feedback to Obsidian for this one. They’re putting the URL in the public.url, public.utf8-plain-text, and even NSStringPboardType type. But it would be nice if they can put an appropriate title, say “Obsidian Help File: Accepted file formats”, as the public.url-name entry instead of an empty string.

At the very least, if someone pastes an URL without a title, I can see if it’s a custom scheme (aka not http:// or https://, like obsidian://) and use that scheme name for the title: “Obsidian link”.

Done as noted here.

My approach is to index one or more folders in the Obsidian vault into the Curio local library, and from that drag the .md file into an idea space.

Hi Quorm,

I use Obsidian (and DT) heavily as my PKM. I am interested in polling some of this information in Obsidian into Curio Projects. I’d love to learn more about your process and how you do this.

Additionally, when you say Curio Local Library, could you please share what you are specifically doing?

If there is a way to pull Obsidian notes into a curio idea space and have it be in sync with any changes to that note in Obsidian, even if that requires a manual refresh, that opens up some very interesting and powerful capabilities.

Appreciate any pointer. Thank you!

Cheers!

If you click on the “Library” icon (looks like a, well, like a library), then “Local”, then click the three-dot icon next to “Scope” you can add a folder from an Obsidian vault (or other location) into the scope of the local library. When done with that, you can search or browse the files in that portion of an Obsidian vault and drag them into an idea space. A copy of the file is dragged in.

Curio does not synchronize with Obsidian or other folders.

Thank you! Much appreciated!
