The search dialog could allow users to quickly link or embed found blocks/pages by using a modifier key. For example:
-
Cmd+Enter
would link to the selected result, be it a block (((selected result))
) or a page ([[selected result]]
). -
Alt+Enter
would embed the selected result, be it a block ({{embed ((selected result))}}
) or a page ({{embed [[selected result]]}}
).
This would provide an additional method for linking content (without cluttering the UI), and — perhaps more importantly — save the user the trouble of remembering if some piece of content was entered as a page or a block, sidestepping issues like this one.
Notes:
- A short reminder of the modifier keys could be present at the bottom of the list.
- This behaviour is only useful while editing, so the search dialog could be modified only in that situation.
