Outgoing links
Outgoing links is a core plugin that shows links from the active note at a glance, as well as potential links to be made. It's similar to the Backlinks plugin, which instead shows you incoming links to the active note.
The Outgoing links tab ( 
) is available in the right sidebar and contains the following sections:
- Links lists all links in the active note. Click a link to open the linked note.
- Unlinked mentions lists any text in the active note that matches the name or alias of another note in your vault. Unlinked mentions helps you discover links you aren't aware of yet.
Excluded files
Files matching your Excluded files patterns will not appear in Unlinked mentions.
To create a link from an unlinked mention, click the button with the note's name.
Tip
Unlinked mentions can refer to different notes with the same name. To show the full path of the note, hover over the button with the note's name.
Code blocks
While you can create a link from an unlinked mention inside a code block, due to the nature of code blocks, links don't show up under the Links section.
