Local Referer

This plugin enhances the editing experience in Obsidian by allowing users to easily insert local files into their notes via the context menu.

Features & Specification

1. Context Menu Integration:

   • Adds a "From Local" option to the editor context menu (right-click in Editor mode).

2. File Selection:

   • Clicking "From Local" opens the OS file explorer/dialog.
   • The dialog opens at a user-configured directory (defaults to User's Home directory if not set).
   • Desktop Only: This feature utilizes system dialogs and is available on Desktop versions only.

3. File Insertion:

   • The selected file is copied into the Obsidian Vault.
   • Destination Folder: Respects the user's Obsidian setting for "Default location for new attachments".
   • Name Collision: Handles duplicate filenames by auto-renaming (e.g. image.png -> image 1.png).
   • Inserts an internal link at the cursor position (respects Obsidian's "Use Wikilinks" setting).
