Description

The Linked Graph Navigator plugin turns links in the active Markdown note into a sidebar map that follows the current editor instead of the whole vault. It keeps authored link order and section context, shows the same routes as a direct graph or an outline, and previews one next step when you hover or focus a route. Clicking a route opens the canonical note, while the root can follow a configured parent link. The graph supports dragging, panning, zoom controls, session only node positions and bounded hover previews. The outline keeps grouped sections searchable and can show routes that the graph omits when space is tight. It stays local and read only, makes no network requests, writes nothing to the vault and supports Obsidian 1.8.0 or later on desktop and mobile.

Latest Version

Changelog

Keep a valid parent note reachable even when the current note has no outgoing Markdown routes. The empty-state parent button works in both Graph and Outline.

The existing omission diagnostics remain visible. No notes or navigation preferences are changed.

Validated with all 50 project tests, including a regression that failed before the fix, and an actual parent-button click in Obsidian 1.13.7.

Manta Graph

Follow your notes in the order you wrote them.

Install in Obsidian · Try the demo Vault · User guide

Version: 1.6.15 · Obsidian 1.8.0+ · Desktop and mobile. See release notes for shipped changes and the roadmap for work in progress and plans.

A six-second loop of the current view using sample notes. Timing is condensed. This is a view fixture; the original Obsidian capture is below.

Install and try

  1. Open the existing Community entry in Obsidian, then install and enable it.
  2. Create notes named Lesson and Practice. Link to them in a third note:
- [[Lesson]]
- [[Practice]]
  1. Keep that note active and run Open Manta Graph for the current note. Select Outline to follow the links in their written order.

Works offline without an account. It follows existing links and does not edit your notes. Create link targets first; unresolved links do not become routes.

Manual installation: download the three plugin files from Releases into .obsidian/plugins/linked-graph/, then reload Obsidian.

Manta Graph walkthrough

Obsidian desktop capture, September 11, 2026 (1.6.12), using public sample notes. The capture predates the Manta name.

Part of the Manta family

Follow the supporting notes around a diagram, an experiment and a dated review. Manta Diagrams, Manta Code Blocks, Manta Calendar each work on their own. Ordinary notes and links connect the work today; automatic handoffs are planned.

Manta itself is in development and has not been released. I’m building it to turn source material into a personal wiki you can keep adding to. Shared AI tools and the full wiki workflow are still in development.
