Canvas Link to Group

Canvas Link to Group

This plugin enables you to create links to specific groups within Canvases and jump to them in 1 click!

Features

Direct Linking to Groups

Jump directly to any group in a canvas from a link in your notes.

Intelligent Link Handling

The plugin provides flexible navigation options:

• Left-click a link to open the canvas in the current tab
• Ctrl/Cmd + Click (or Middle-click) to open it in a new tab.

Easy Link Creation

Create links effortlessly with multiple methods:

• Context Menu: Right-click any group and select "Copy link to group."
• Command Palette: Select a single group and use the "Copy link to selected group" command.
• custom hotkey for keyboard-driven workflows (Empty by default, assign to your liking (CTRL + SHIFT + C suggested))

Notifications

The plugin provides helpful feedback to guide you:

• Notify if you try to copy a link without a group selected.
• Notify if you jump to a group name that is used multiple times in the same canvas.

How to Use

Creating a Link to a Group

There are two primary ways to create a link to a group:

1. Context Menu (Right-Click)

This is the most direct method.

1. Open a canvas.
2. Right-click on the group you want to link to.
3. Select Copy link to group.
4. Paste the link (e.g., [[MyCanvas.canvas#GroupName]]) into any note.

2. Command Palette

This method is ideal for keyboard-driven workflows.

1. Open a canvas and select a single group.
2. Open the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd + P).
3. Search for "Copy link to selected group" and run the command.
4. Paste the link into any note.

Pro Tip: For even faster access, assign a custom hotkey to this command (e.g., Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + C) in Obsidian's Settings > Hotkeys.

Using the Link

Once you have a link in a note (e.g., [[MyProject.canvas#Design Phase]]), you can click on it:

• Left-click: Opens MyProject.canvas in your current tab and jumps to the "Design Phase" group.
• Ctrl/Cmd + Click or Middle-click: Opens the canvas in a new tab and jumps to the group.
