Hi, I can’t seem to find this already discussed in the forums. But I might just be using the wrong words for it. I am using multiple links in quite a few blocks. Like [[Cookies]] [treats]] [[Baking]] [[Smiles] sugar cookie recipe from grandma…
Is there a feature, or a plug-in, I would allow me to auto add all the links after cookies once I have the link for [[cookies]]?

- add predefined text in a quick way, should define and use a macro
- In your example:
- if the definition was like:
:cookies "[[Cookies]] [treats]] [[Baking]] [[Smiles]" - the usage would be:

- Though some parameterization is possible.

- In your example:
- organize your links (these are called references) in a hierarchy, consider using namespaces
- The ideal would be to adopt some workflow that doesn’t require to repeat the same things every time.
- In your example, mentioning
[[cookies]]should be enough.
- In your example, mentioning
Not exactly what you’re asking for but text expansion software is useful for this and many other things.
