Local Referer

This plugin enhances the editing experience in Obsidian by allowing users to easily insert local files into their notes via the context menu.

Features & Specification

  1. Context Menu Integration:

    • Adds a "From Local" option to the editor context menu (right-click in Editor mode).

  2. File Selection:

    • Clicking "From Local" opens the OS file explorer/dialog.
    • The dialog opens at a user-configured directory (defaults to User's Home directory if not set).
    • Desktop Only: This feature utilizes system dialogs and is available on Desktop versions only.

  3. File Insertion:

    • The selected file is copied into the Obsidian Vault.
    • Destination Folder: Respects the user's Obsidian setting for "Default location for new attachments".
    • Name Collision: Handles duplicate filenames by auto-renaming (e.g. image.png -> image 1.png).
    • Inserts an internal link at the cursor position (respects Obsidian's "Use Wikilinks" setting).
