It would be great to link to a particular section within another md file! This way you can be very precise about the link and makes navigating a lot better

Linking to a section works well but just doesn't show in the graph right? I do something like this all the time:
See more at [Concepts:Executions](concepts.md##executions)
I don't have support on windows for markdown links in the graph yet so not sure if it will show in the graph.

Thanks, I didn't think about the URL type # to link to sections! I'll try it out.
FYI I'm on macos

Hm, I would have to check it but for I believe that for now anything that is not discovered to be a real local file is treated as an external link and then ignored. So why not having it properly recognized.

Also links to #60 , from what @tchayen said about external links being ignored

I'm curious, given that section links are possible, how does the graph treat them - do they just link to the linked section's file or are they not linked at all?

Does obsidian have section linking?

Yes, but very strange: https://publish.obsidian.md/help/How+to/Link+to+blocks

Just realized that linking to sections is not really a thing that we want (at least as far as I understand) to show on the graph so it is out of scope of the extension, right?

Closing for now, but feel free to comment if I am wrong here.
