Description

Context

There are some cases when you want the same note to have multiple paths. See this and this

Proposal

Introduce note aliases, a way to map the same note to multiple paths.

Example

Say you have the following note

  • python.lib.pandas.md
---
title: Pandas 
desc:  > 
    pandas is a fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use open source data analysis and manipulation tool
aliases: 
  - ds.tools.pandas # ds -> data science
  - pro.pandas # pro -> project
---
...
    1. This note would be able to be queried via lookup using any of the following queries:
    • python.lib.pandas
    • ds.tools.pandas
    • pro.pandas
    1. Any wikilinks with the above three terms will also all resolve to python.lib.pandas
    1. The Dendron Tree View will show all three notes. Clicking on any will resolve to python.lib.pandas
    1. The Note Graph View will follow the same behavior as the tree view
