Will Bases use inline YAML (eventually) in building table or query data?
Greetings,
So I am one of those people who made fairly extensive use of inline YAML tags in #obsidian daily notes to dynamically build monthly and annual journal notes via Periodic Notes. System has been chugging along for about a year and a half and works well.
I currently have the following inline YAML tags: ::journal, ::house, ::shared, ::links, ::gratitude
Monthly and yearly notes grab info from appropriate data ranges via Dataview queries built into notes via Monthly and Yearly templates with date ranges mofidied via Templater.
With Dataview now in maintenance mode, what is the path forward if I have to use Bases to approximate the same functionality? Nothing I have is stored in front matter YAML properties, and I;m not even sure if front matter YAML properties can handle longer paragraph length entries which are not a problem with inline YAML.
Front matter YAML (from what I understand) can't handle URLs/links either.
So how fucked am I?
