Foam: Feature Request: Markdown links navigation

[ysl2]

Open links by hotkey: follow a wiki-link or a markdown link with “ctrl + enter”.

I might be misremembering, but isn't this achievable by the "go to definition" shortcut? I think it's ctrl+f2 or ctrl+f12? (I use Vim for VSCode so for me it's gd)

Yup, the linking should be present already, @ysl970629 you could check your keybindings to see what keys "Go to Definition" is bound to.

The mouse hover preview is a great idea though.

A wiki-link can be opened by this way, but a original markdown link can’t be. @ingalless

Hmm, interesting! @riccardoferretti do you - recall if it's us or another extension providing this functionality?

[riccardoferretti]

We don't, and I don't believe the other extensions to do.
Once navigation is driven by the foam model, which will happen after #299, this should definitely be possible.

I also like the preview feature request. @ysl970629 can you please create a separate issue for it and rename this one to focus on the markdown links navigation?

[ysl2]

And the original markdown links can’t be captured in “backlink” interface.

In fact, as for my humble opinion, I prefer original links rather than wiki-links, because it could maintain portability (for example, to edit or view in a mobile phone, the wiki-links can’t be recognized well)

[riccardoferretti]

after #299, for Foam it won't matter whether you use regular links or wikilinks to connect documents, so you should be covered (well, once the backlinks panel is powered by the Foam model ;) )

[ysl2]

OK, I have created a new issue about preview. Thank you :-) @riccardoferretti
