# Fakelink plugin for Obsidian Fakelink is an [[Obsidian]] community plugin by godfatherlg. It renders text that matches the titles, aliases or headings of other notes as links, *virtually*: your files never change. Matching is vault-wide by default, and you can restrict it to a folder. Right-click a virtual link to turn it into a real one, or to add the word to the excluded keywords. Your notes act like a glossary: you discover connections while reading, without editing anything. Caveats: - Virtual links don't show up in the [[Graph view core plugin for Obsidian|graph]] or in [[Backlinks core plugin for Obsidian|backlinks]], since they don't exist in the files - It can't fully hide its links in [[Obsidian Canvas|canvases]] or tables - It's a fork of Virtual Linker (also known as Glossary), which broke with API changes in 2025, and it hasn't been manually reviewed by the Obsidian team ## References - Source code: https://github.com/godfatherlg/fakelink - Community plugin page: https://obsidian.md/plugins?id=fakelink ## Related - [[The Complete Guide to Obsidian Search - Find Any Note When You Need It (Article)]] - [[The Best Obsidian Plugins for Finding Notes (Article)]] - [[Note Definitions plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Backlinks core plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Various complements plugin for Obsidian]] - [[Graph view core plugin for Obsidian]]
