Similar to the backlinks core plugin for Obsidian, but made to display relevant and formatted excerpts from notes with linked mentions, based on the position of mentions in the notes' hierarchical structure (bullet level indentation).
(Or: How to get the most out of this plugin.)
- Information should mainly be written in daily (or Zettelkasten-ish) notes. Topical notes will then mainly be aggregates of clippings from daily notes.
- Notes should be taken hierarchically, in the form of bullet lists/bullet journaling. This helps keep clippings terse and relevant.
- Links should be used as the only organizing principle in the vault - forgo use of tags and files/folders. This helps with completeness; the plugin only considers links when aggregating.
- Q: Is it intentional that the plugin is visible in live preview, but not reading view?
- A: Yes, in the sense that Obsidian currently cannot add widgets to reading view in the same way as live preview (through code mirror extensions.)
- Q; Why can't I see the Influx component in some pages?
- A: As of version 2, Influx will by default not be shown on pages with no inbound mentions.
