If using namespaces, it is not possible to see which page is favourited. It would be useful if an page/favourite alias could be set to correct this.
I would envisage doing this by either using the ‘alias’ property (which might not solve the problem, or providing a page property specifically for it.
Hi Mark,
I think I’m on your wavelength but just to be clear.
Do you mean that the alias for a page doesn’t factor in the hierarchy.
I.e.
[[Computer/New build/2025]]
Alias: NewComp25
Using the alias basically circumvents any hierarchy.
Correct. An alias page property purely for display in the left side-bar that a user can set when the hierarchy display actually creates too much friction in using favorites (and possibly recents).
Maybe something like: fav-alias::
While adding more effort to the user, I think it should be minimal and considerably less effort for the developers to implement.
Another possible solution is to use the alias:: in the sidebar by default but there might be cases where having the new property as an ultimate over-ride might be worthwhile.
Coming from a long development, data, and documentation background, I find name-spacing through the hierarchy invaluable to me, despite the drawbacks that my extensive use creates and this might be the simplest solution for myself 
Just a quick screenshot showing my (mostly self inflicted) pain
All of these do have an alias:: configured.
Thanks,
Mark
