Support for alternate checkbox tasks

See original GitHub issue

I’ve been using alternate checkboxes to track different task states, inspired by SlRvb’s implementation in their ITS theme, and I’ve discovered that Dataview only recognizes checkboxes that have ’ ', ‘x’, or ‘X’ in the box. Dataview ignores top-level checklist items that have any other character in the box, and nested alternate checklist items include "[char] " in their text.

Ideally, Dataview could recognize any bulleted item with any single character in the box at the front as a task. It would also be helpful to include that character as the task’s state, status, type, or something along those lines.

Possible extensions:

  • Numerical tasks like - [2/10] Do this thing 10 times
  • Unicode glyphs (e.g. emoji)

I’ll need to add an API option for overriding the click handler - that way Dataview can provide the task metadata and source file.

Will be available as task.status in the next major update.
