# Frontmatter Markdown Links
This is a plugin for [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) that adds support for markdown links in frontmatter.
## Features
### Markdown links in frontmatter
```yaml
---
# Obsidian supports natively
wikilink: "[[Wikilink]]"
wikilinkWithAlias: "[[Wikilink|Alias]]"
externalUrl: "https://example.com"
# Provided by this plugin
markdownLink: "[Alias](MarkdownLink.md)"
markdownLinkWithSpace: "[Alias with space](MarkdownLink%20with%20space.md)"
markdownLinkWithAngleBrackets: "[Alias with space]()"
externalUrlWithAlias: "[Alias](https://example.com)"
externalUrlWithAngleBrackets: ""
embeddedWikilink: "![[EmbeddedWikilink]]"
embeddedMarkdownLink: ""
embeddedExternalUrl: ""
---
```
The feature of this plugin is on high demand on Obsidian forum:
- [Properties: Support INTERNAL Markdown links](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/properties-support-external-markdown-links/76918)
- [Properties: Support EXTERNAL Markdown links](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/properties-support-internal-markdown-links/63825/)
### Backlinks
The backlinks are now working for the markdown links in frontmatter.
### Clickable frontmatter links
The links in frontmatter are now clickable in all modes: `Source mode`, `Live Preview`, and `Reading`.
```yaml
---
# Wikilinks and markdown links only inside quotes
wikilink: "[[Wikilink]]"
markdownLink: "[Alias](MarkdownLink.md)"
externalUrlWithAlias: "[Alias](https://example.com)"
# External urls work with and without quotes
externalUrlWithQuotes: "https://example.com"
externalUrlWithQuotesAndAngleBrackets: ""
externalUrlWithoutQuotes: https://example.com
externalUrlWithoutQuotesAndWithAngleBrackets:
# Multiline lists
multilineList:
- Non-clickable
- "[[Wikilink]]"
- "[Alias](MarkdownLink.md)"
- https://example.com
# Inline lists
inlineList: ["Non-clickable", "[[Wikilink]]", "[Alias](MarkdownLink.md)", "https://example.com"]
# Embeds
embeddedWikilink: "![[EmbeddedWikilink]]"
embeddedMarkdownLink: ""
embeddedExternalUrl: ""
---
```
### Multiple links per property
The plugin allows to use multiple links (wikilinks, markdown links, external links) in one property.
```yaml
---
foo: "[[bar]] baz [[qux]]"
---
```
