I find it to be unintuitive that I can’t create a link to a page in Journals with some block properties and have those transfer to the page properties. For example, I have a book template that includes some properties like author, genre, type (book), etc. I would like to be able to create this on a journal page like this:
[[My favorite book]]
type:: [[book]]
author:: [[Stein]]
genre:: [[horror]]
Then, when I click on [[My favorite book]], it should have those properties too.
Why would you do it that way? Is there a specific workflow behind that queation?
I do it the other way round. i create a page titled [[Book - Favorite Book]] on that page there a the page properties like author and genre etc. I can then use block reference to mention it on the journal page if needed.
Would this hel your usecase?
So do you use a template to generate the properties on the page?
exactly. the template goes something like this
Title of the book
title::
author::
genre::
tags::
and in my case it goes on with various blocks like “book highlights” etc.
