Better Link Clicker
approvedby Eniverz
Changes link click behavior to edit on click and navigate on Ctrl+Click.
Better Link Clicker
An Obsidian plugin that modifies the default click behavior of bidirectional links.
Directly clicking on a link no longer redirects you, but instead edits the link (in live mode).
When a user clicks on a link that does not have a note below it, a confirmation window is displayed before a new note is created.
Both of the above features can be configured in the settings panel.
Modifier clicks
This plugin intercepts normal link clicks so you can edit links without navigating.
When you use Obsidian's modifier-click behavior to open a link in another pane (tab/split/window), the plugin respects that. For example, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Click (or the equivalent on macOS) will open the link in a new window.
Supported link types
The plugin currently handles the following link syntaxes in the editor (especially Live Preview tokenized text):
| Type | Syntax examples | Supported |
|---|---|---|
| Wikilink (internal) | [[Note]], [[Note|Alias]], [[Note#Heading]] | Yes |
| Wikilink embed (internal) | ![[Note]], ![[image.png]] | Yes |
| Markdown link to internal target | [PyTorch](PyTorch), [Doc](folder/Doc.md#section) | Yes |
| Markdown link to external URL | [GitHub](https://github.com), [Mail](mailto:test@example.com) | Yes |
| Plain URL text | https://github.com, mailto:test@example.com, //example.com | Yes |
Callout links rendered as <a> in Live Preview | > [!tip] Title | Todo |
