The choice between frontmatter and main text for internal links in Obsidian depends on the purpose and nature of the links:
|
||||
|
||||
**Put links in frontmatter when:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Creating structured metadata relationships (like tags, categories, or formal associations)
|
||||
- Building MOCs (Maps of Content) or index pages where you want clean, scannable link lists
|
||||
- Using plugins that specifically read frontmatter fields (like Dataview queries)
|
||||
- Creating "up" links to parent topics or broader categories
|
||||
- Setting up formal taxonomies or hierarchical relationships
|
||||
|
||||
**Put links in main text when:**
|
||||
|
||||
- The links are part of your natural writing flow and thinking process
|
||||
- You're making contextual connections that relate to specific ideas or sentences
|
||||
- The links represent your active thought process while writing
|
||||
- You want the links to be part of your reading experience when reviewing notes
|
||||
- The connections are discoveries or insights that emerged while writing
|
||||
|
||||
**Hybrid approach:** Many Obsidian users combine both methods. For example, you might put formal category links in frontmatter (`parent: [[Project Management]]`) while keeping contextual, thought-based links in the body text where they naturally arise during writing.
|
||||
|
||||
The main text approach tends to be more organic and supports the "thinking in writing" philosophy that many note-takers prefer, while frontmatter links are better for systematic organization and plugin automation. Consider your primary use case: if you're building a knowledge system for later querying and analysis, lean toward frontmatter structure. If you're thinking through ideas and making connections as you write, embed them naturally in your text.
