Suggester System
QuickAdd’s suggester system provides intelligent, context-aware suggestions when selecting files, tags, headings, and other content in your vault.
The # and [[ triggers below work in QuickAdd’s single-line and multi-line input prompts. The one-page input form’s text fields do not offer them; its field and pick-list inputs have their own inline suggestions.
