How to keep the Source when exporting a Block or Page?

[Whiskeyclone]

If you combine your existing knowledge (quotes, summaries, etc.) into new output (essays, video-scripts, etc.) the recommended (and in my opinion best) way is using block-reference or block-embeds.

The source blocks look like this:

If i stay in my logseq environment, all that is fine, because i can always mouse-over the referred block and see where this block came from.

Problems arise when i want to export a block or page. Here, all the beautifully structured pages lose their added value. Neither Block Properties nor Paths of Blocks are exported.

Am i missing something? A Plugin maybe? Or is this really not possible?

Thank you

Just wanted to bump this up. A software that let´s you create blocks and then use them on many pages, this seems to be an key feature and i really don´t understand why no one reacted so far. Or is it maybe just that few people use the export function at all?

There’s maybe some plugin, but what I’d do if I want to start sharing the metadata of my knowledge items (blocks or pages), I’d go directly into the *.md files on pages or journal folders and copy them out to start publishing them. I’m usually apply Typora as my preferred minimal Markdown editor.
