I took it completely different lol 😅 - before extraction - afile.md

this is the greatest foo in the world

- after extraction - afile.md

this is the greatest [[where.foos.live.foo|foo]] in the world

- where.foos.live.foo.md

new note

heh

you can do that today with scratch notes!

if you highlight foo and create a scratch note, it will make a link from the highlighted text to the new note

and then rename the scratch note?

yep. being able to do it directly from lookup would cut out a middle step

what i really want is for all the use cases of jouranl notes, scratch notes, new note from selection, etc to be captured in

lookups

. everything is a lookup and these use cases are just optimized shortcuts for a lookup

but what if I want to turn some text into a link to existing note?

then that sounds like a feature request 😇

i suppose the default behavior is to append the text to the bottom of the note :/

> but what if I want to turn some text into a link to existing note? Although it can be an existing or a new note for my use case. @User I want the behavior @User described

@User got it!

> @User the dendron-cli has a very rough interface right now. you need to specify the

wsRoot

because a vault can be located anywhere (by default, its inside the

wsRoot

). the podId is what you see when you run

Import Pod

inside vscode @User where should I look for the podId? I looked for inside

Import Pod

command, but didn't find.

Another idea: Copy link to note via a smiliar menu to lookup, without having to first visit the note then copy the link

@User that's because i didn't put them anywhere 😅 just updated the docs here https:/dendron.so/notes/8b03ed06-4f46-46e0-8652-c6abf2266a79.html#pod-commands

@User would you not get that with link autocomplete from the note that you want to paste the link into?

Yes but the autocomplete doesn't copy the label as well

got it

Actually I don't quite get the

seed

idea, what's the poin for it if it's same as what we're doing now? (write md files in vsc -> publish to github page)

@User so seeds is a way to take existing external content and import it into dendron. aws.dendron.so is published using seeds which take aws content from multiple websites and publishes it inside dendron

ohh i get the idea, so you can grab contents from other places and publish it with dendron (hope i got it right 😅 )

yep, exactly!

@User Any ideas of why the

![]()

doesn't work for me?

I initialized another dendron workspace (directory), but it didn't work too

What doesn’t work?

the

![]()

markdown syntax to add pictures doesn't work after publishing

like if I type  and publish it using git

it'll show nothing

only

<img src="link-to-image">

works
