How do you differentiate content types within the same note?

help

Hi (i used ai, just to summarize,, but this is a genuine problem)

My current workflow: I write a raw idea (3–4 paragraphs), then run it through an AI to pull related academic theories across disciplines (sociology, philosophy, neuroscience, etc.). The output lands in a single note — but the content inside is not all the same thing.

I have:

  • My original thought
  • A definition or theory from an external source
  • My analysis of how they relate
  • A creative synthesis combining both

Right now I'm using callouts to visually separate them, but callouts don't carry any real semantic difference — they all just look different, they don't mean different things to the vault.

What I'm looking for: a way to give each block a different "property" or type inside the same note. So I can later query: show me all the analysis blocks across my vault, or show me everything tagged as creative synthesis.

Is there a clean way to do this with Dataview inline fields? Or a plugin I'm missing? How do you handle mixed-content notes?
