Description

The Frontmatter Alias Display plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who utilize the Zettelkasten method. This plugin allows you to display frontmatter aliases as note titles in the File Explorer, making it easier to navigate your notes. Instead of seeing arbitrary IDs like 202303041748, you can now see more informative titles like the difference between .prototype and .constructor. This feature combines the benefits of using note IDs for linking with the readability of descriptive titles. With this plugin, you can use Obsidian's link alias syntax to link to notes while displaying a custom title.
