I've been experimenting with your library and discovered what appears to be a bug in indexFolder. When populating the links index, it skips [[wikiLink]] style links in cases where the wikiLink body !== relative file path.

This can be reproduced with a directory containing 2 files, separated by a level of directory hierarchy:

  • Foo.md: "[[Bar]]"
  • folder/Bar.md: ""

The resulting set of links indexed is 0 in this case, despite containing a valid [[wikiLink]], or at least a valid Obsidian-compatible wikiLink.

The function findFileToInsert in DatabaseUtils.ts seems to assume that the link target is a relative file path (excluding the extension), and will fail to recognize the wikiLink as a valid link, and the system will skip indexing it.

Whereas updating the above example to omit the sub-directory, i.e.,

  • Foo.md: "[[Bar]]"
  • Bar.md: ""

correctly results in a link being indexed.

I'm curious if this is a bug, or if this kind of Obsidian-compatible [[wikiLink]] is not supported?
