Allow use of note alias instead of `file.name`
See original GitHub issueI personally use a system of note naming which results in long note names that I don’t always want to show in dataview previews.
Would it be possible show the results of list from ""
as the notes’ alias instead of just file.name
?
This is tricky if there are multiple aliases for a single note. But I think defaulting to the first alias would suffice. The ordering of aliases in a yaml list doesn’t affect anything else, I think, so the ordering would only serve this function for dataview.

Use the
link
function:Yes,
alias
yaml field.Good point! Ideally though, it would be a link. And it would be in the first column of a table, instead of
file.link, alias
like it is now
