# Alias Management for Obsidian

Identify duplicate notes based on similar aliases and filenames.

This plugin dynamically expands aliases and filenames at runtime, preserving the integrity of files.

# Features

## View duplicate aliases

Easily identify aliases appearing in multiple files, organized into lists. Aliases originate either from filenames or from aliases within files.



  



### Header Overview

The header displays the number of links to aliases along with the number of lists. Hovering over it reveals the count of unique lists.



  



### Color-coded Origins

Alias origins are color-coded for clarity.

- **Red:** Alias derived from the filename.

- **Light red:** Alias derived from aliases within a file.

Hovering over an alias reveals its source file and origin.



  



### Interactive Links

Clicking on an alias opens the corresponding file, streamlining navigation and editing. This feature facilitates quick file renaming with a single shortcut, especially for filename-derived aliases.

**Reading Mode**

Highlighted aliases enable quick identification and removal with a single mouse click if necessary.



  



**Source Mode**

Pre-selected aliases with a leading or trailing comma (if available) allow easy removal by pressing backspace.



  



### Auto update

View updates in real-time as aliases or filenames change, ensuring current data representation.



  



### Disclosure Widgets

Minimize distractions by hiding or showing lists of aliases with a click on the triangle.



  



### Sort order

Lists are sorted by the number of entries, with filename-derived aliases prioritized.



  



## View aliases per file

Open a dedicated view to see aliases generated for individual files.

- **Exclude aliases:** Define regular expressions to exclude specific aliases. This can be useful for filtering out common or irrelevant aliases.

  - Default: True

- **Open notes side by side:** Enable to open notes side by side, facilitating easier comparison between files.
