Details

Dendron: Convert Link is a command that lets you select a link and convert it to various other types of links.

This command works on both broken and valid links, and provide different capabilities depending on the validity of the selected link.

Broken links are links that do not point to an existing note.

You can use Dendron: Convert Link to convert broken links into either plaintext or a different link to an existing note.

These are the available options for converting broken links:

  • alias: Convert to the selected link's alias text. If the selected link does not have an alias, this option is not suggested.
  • note name: Convert to the selected link's destination note name (basename excluding all parent hierarchies)
  • hierarchy: Convert to the selected link's entire hierarchy string
  • prompt: Convert to the text that the user provides.
  • change destination: Convert the link to point to another note that exists. You will be prompted a lookup to select a valid note.

Valid links are links that point to an existing note.

You can use Dendron: Convert Link to convert a limited set of valid links to other types of links.

These are the available operations for valid links:

  • when cursor is above a usertag, user is asked if they want to convert it to a regular wikilink.
  • when cursor is above a regular wikilink with user.* hierarchy, user is asked if they want to convert it to a usertag (e.g. @person)
  • when cursor is above a hashtag, user is asked if they want to convert it to a regular wikilink.
  • when cursor is above a regular wikilink with tags.* hierarchy, user is asked if they want to convert it to a hashtag (e.g. #my.tag)
