Obsidian aliases

8 January 2026

An aliased link in Obsidian takes the form [[note|alias]] and displays the alias instead of the note name. They are designed to help with readability.

Pros

  • Obsidian aliases are good for pluralisation
  • Obsidian aliases are good for displaying note titles properly

Cons

  • Obsidian aliases are not standard markdown
  • Obsidian aliases create note-taking friction
