Materialize a query relative to current document as a dockable panel with name and icon

[tobei]

I posted this few months ago in the issues but I think it cas be better discussed in the idea section. What I propose i to be able to have result lists as panels instead of having them living inside a document. Results wouls then be refreshed as the active document change from note to note as the query they contains would be relative to the currently selected note.

I would like to materialize dataview queries into their own named, dockable panels. The result of the query would be evaluated against the current selected note in case of query arguments like [[ ]]. Optionally, having the option of those panels popping up only if the current selected notes satifies some conditions or if there result list is not empty.

Usecase : my notes represents people, projects, meetings, technologies, thus when i look at a projects backlinks for example i'll find a long list of dailies, people who worked on the projects, meetings about this projects etc. I would love if when i watch a project note i get a materialized view of every meeting (tag or folder here) backlinking to the project into a named panel called "meeting" (eventually adding custom icons to the queries to make them easy to click). When watching a technology note i would get the panel (or another panel) pop in to show me every projects using (backlinking to) that technology.

I currrently have those kind of listing as dataview queries inside each note template, but because my workflow really revolve around the usage of 10 or so concepts it would be great if i could make use of those dockable panel space for materialized views relative to the currently opened note. The "linked mention" panel is way too cluttered and disorganized as the vault grows.

This is somewhat doable with a bit of DVJS IMO. You could use workspace.activeLeaf() and use that as the starting point for your query.
