Nexus for Obsidian

Nexus is a powerful semantic knowledge graph and bidirectional linking engine for Obsidian. It allows you to define formal relationships between your notes, creating a structured ontology directly within your vault.

Key Features

🔗 Semantic Linking

Define exactly how notes are related using two powerful syntaxes:

  • Semantic Alias: [[Note|type]] — Uses the built-in alias syntax to define a relationship.
  • Dataview Inline Fields: type:: [[Note]] — Compatible with the Dataview ecosystem.

✨ Visual Enhancements

Nexus makes your semantic connections visible and interactive:

  • Reading Mode Badges: Semantic links are automatically styled with type-specific badges.
  • Live Preview Integration: See relationship types directly in the editor as you type.
  • Hover Previews: Native Obsidian page previews work seamlessly for all semantic links.
  • Dead Link Detection: Visual indicators for semantic links that lead to non-existent notes.

🔄 Sync Master (Bidirectional Links)

Never lose track of a relationship. Nexus automatically manages bidirectional connections:

  • Properties Sync: When you link A to B with type "supports", Nexus can automatically record "supported-by" (or the same type) in the properties of Note B.
  • Grouped Updates: Optimized performance for batch operations and large files.

🔍 Backlinks Enhancer

A dedicated view that groups your backlinks by their semantic type, giving you instant clarity on how the current note sits within your knowledge web.

🛠️ Dead Link Watcher

A vault-wide scanner that identifies broken semantic links, helping you maintain a healthy and robust knowledge graph.

Installation

  1. Install via Community Plugins in Obsidian (Search for "Nexus").
  2. Configure your Trusted Types in the Nexus settings tab (e.g., supports, contradicts, part of).
  3. Enable the modules you need (Semantic Engine, Sync Master, etc.).
