Can't make this comparison between two links truthy

[DeutscheGabanna]

Here's a link to a note from dv.page(group.rows[0].outlinks[0].path).file.link:

Here's this note's file.link property:

Why can't this be true?
dv.page(group.rows[0].outlinks[0].path).file.link == dv.current().file.link

[DeutscheGabanna]

Only checking by path works:
console.log(dv.page(group.rows[0].outlinks[0].path).file.path == dv.current().file.path)

I would advise sticking to doing path comparisons. JavaScript objects are tricky to compare so I'd write a custom comparator function for that. DQL seems to do this under the hood to make our lives easier but I suspect the same hasn't been implemented for DVJS.

I also find this funny that sometimes paths contain full path with folders and sometimes don't, which forces me to do some strange shenenigans as workarounds.

Consider this outlink here group.rows[0].outlinks[0].path. Its value is this is a note i'm tracking.md - without folders!
Now compare it with the object from the actual note dv.page(...).file.path. Its value says: testing obsidian/this is a note i'm tracking.md - with folders!

And because of this discrepancy, I need to convert the path to a note object before I can compare it with another path!
This won't work: group.rows[0].outlinks[0].path == dv.current().file.path
This will work: dv.page(group.rows[0].outlinks[0].path).file.path == dv.current().file.path

Can you give me some context about the use case? I've noticed that links to existing files resolve to full path. Anyhow, some context could help formulate some other ways round the problem.

Create a list like so:

• [[a note]] (the note has to be inside some folder)

Inspect its dataview object and you'll see that links[x].outlinks[0].path resolves to just a note.md and not folder/a note.md

In Javascript, links are objects and cannot be compared via ==; use dv.equal(value1, value2).
