[Feature Request] URI to open note in popover mode

[daxmonson]

While inline in one note, it would be helpful to be able to use an advanced URI to call up another note via IOS shortcut by voice etc so that it pops up over the top of current note. This way you could stay in the flow of the original note and not have to do a bunch of navigating.

Does obsidian have such popover mode? So do you want me to open a file in a popover or to craft the popover mode itself as well?

[daxmonson]

Yep, it's the page preview in the core plugins, triggered by cmd and hovering the cursor over a link. I think if there was a way to call up a note to display this way via URI there wouldn't be a need to craft it. If possible, it would be a very welcomed addition. Thanks for considering it.

There is a beta plugin called Hover Editor which provides such a popover mode feature, but not sure if easy to collaborate with it.
BTW, highly recommended trying Hover Editor, it is the one could enhance people's workflow.

[daxmonson]

That’s right. Using hover editor frequently here (it’s actually not beta anymore). Interoperability between the two would be welcome to see.

Available via the new openmode parameter

Thanks for implementing this, I just bought you a coffee.

I've got a vault "Ipad" and a note "say something" which I'm able to call up and open with an advanced URI. I've looked at the schema for popups and have tried to use different syntax to pull it up in popover, but haven't been able to yet (have hover editor installed). Maybe time for me to go by myself a coffee.

obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=IPad%20Vault&filepath=Say%2520something=openmode=popover.md

Possible to write the line correctly in advanced URI schema? Thanks

[Vinzent03]

Thank you! The .md corresponds to the filepath parameter and not to the end.

I guess the correct one is obsidian://advanced-uri?vault=Ipad&filepath=say%20something&openmode=popover.

[daxmonson]

Hmm, I'd actually tried that yesterday too as a variation after Vincent's comment. It does open Obsidian and to that note, but not in Hover mode. I thought it might have something to do with running the URI from Siri shortcuts, but placing the URI in the Safari address bar on iOS or OSX also just opens the Obsidian note like regular advanced URI. Maybe another plugin or setting is interfering.
Will update this when I sort out what's happening. Thanks

@daxmonson Oh I'm sorry I just found a bug in the implementation. Fixed in 1.29.2.
