Get lines and blocks referencing inline fields and tags

[sigkappel]

I know you can use file.tasks to tabulate tasks but can you tabulate blocks of text or paragraphs by referencing inline fields or tags?

something like

This girl likes [tasty::jello] and eats it every day #nerdalert

This #nerdalert cat does not eat [tasty::jello] but likes to watch it wiggle

I would like to reference and tabulate all the lines with the [teast::jello] inline field or with the #nerdalert inline tag.

Any way to do this. with Dataviewjs perhaps?

Can be done with DVJS but what's the overall use case?

It may be possible with some complex DataviewJS but in general this is currently hard to do; there are some improvements being worked on slowly which will enable this functionality as an additional query type.

@blacksmithgu Looking forward to the additional query type.
@AB1908 - my use case is time tracking. I want to replace toggle to track journal enteries.

example:

---

Bobs Website Project

working on getting getting css fixed for bobs website #2022-04-29/T070000 #2022-04-29/T080000

speed is slow on bobs website - optimizing #2022-04-30/T080000 #2022-04-30/T100000

---

I would like to tabulate all the entries with start and end times and the duration.
In the above example I used tags but I could use inline key value pairs

[time: 2022-04-30T080000] [time: 2022-04-30T100000]

[AB1908]

Hmm seems fairly doable but would be hard to create durations since pair matching can be tricky. IMO better to create a single string like a-b and parse it yourself.
