Quick little project share. I’ve been really happy with using dataview to setup maps of content in my note-taking system. I felt like I was sort of missing the whole point of bidirectional linking until I implemented it.
What are MOC?
A map of content is similar to backlinks on a note, except they’re based on tags. In Obsidian, a map of content is a list of notes that contain that certain tag. It’s useful for when I’m jogging my memory. For example, when hovering the graph view, I can click into a tag and focus on related notes. I’ve put the below Dataview query inside my base note template so that the tables get auto generated for every note. It can easily be sorted as well.
```dataview
list from [[]] and !outgoing([[]])
```At the moment, I think dynamic tables can’t display data stored in note properties (Yet it’s currently roadmapped). And I think since Quartz is statically generated and processes markdown files at build time, it would be challenging to set up in my published content.
