This little hack promoted by ⁦@EleanorKonik⁩ in this week’s edition of the Obsidian Roundup gives me all kinds of ideas for how to make references to physical notebooks I’ve kept from inside #obsidianmd — I can see referencing whole pages, or blocks of text I’ve entered. 😁

I can go back to journals and give them identifiers, then be able to add refs for journals, pages, paragraphs, or lines in #obsidianmd. Also tag the line itself so I can find all ported print references easily. Opens all kinds of possibilities for linking print to digital!

I can also see porting over whole paragraphs using outlining in #obsidianmd. When outlining, if you take the first paragraph and make it the parent, you can nest subsequent paragraphs beneath it. Benefit here is that in search, you see the entire set in the result. #pkm

Another idea is maybe taking the reference identifier I created in #obsidianmd and adding it back to the physical journal page when I have porter it over? A #pkm treasure hunt?

At @EleanorKonik’s encouragement, I’ll be writing up a post on this idea as I further flesh it out — already have other cool ways to leverage this concept that I’m thinking about/testing. This definitely opens up a load of possibilities that are exciting!
