Possible to just get a flat list of bulleted items that have a certain tag?

[ThatAdamGuy]

Hi!

Would greatly appreciate help in getting a simple dataview list from unstructured (!) data with specific tags.
e.g.,

• Some exciting resource with an inline link #foo
• Some other resource #bar
• Yet another resource #foo

...and I basically want to filter that list (ideally across pages) to show only lines with tag #foo

I realize Dataview is intended typically for structured data, so I'll understand if it doesn't support this use case, but I thought I'd check :-)

I do realize...

• Obsidian natively supports embedded queries by tag, but... they include the full markup, which -- with long embedded URLs -- makes lists like I want practically unreadable, not to mention the list items unclickable)
• I could just use checkboxes and make these into tasks... but they aren't tasks and so I'm reluctant to go that route (particularly since it'd be confusing given that I do have legit tasks in Obsidian)

Thanks in advance for your insights!

P.S. Would be awesome if this was possible without javascript!

```dataview
list without id
L.text
from "path/to/folder"
flatten file.lists as L
where contains(L.tags, "#foo")
```

Sorry for hijacking: Is this possible for links, too? I tried where contains(L.links, "File Name") but it didn't work

[Razortide]

I went with
WHERE contains (L.text, "file.name")
that did the trick for me.

Yeah I did something similar to get a list of list items tagged with #mytag:

```dataview
LIST WITHOUT ID
L.text
FROM #mytag 
FLATTEN file.lists AS L
WHERE contains(L.tags, "#mytag")
```

Whoa, that worked perfectly! Thank you for the fast and helpful answer!

And I'm puzzled/intrigued because that's the first I've ever seen of "L.text". Hmmmm :o

Thanks again :)

These will make their way into the docs eventually.

Just a note: currently these bulleted items are not clickable (as easy to edit) like the Task query is.

[ceciltech]

L.text + " " + link(L.path + "#" + meta(L.header).subpath,":luc_link:")

[ceciltech]

Even easier if you don't want separate label: L.link

When using L.link, it's not targeting the bullet list but the subheading the bullet list belongs to. Is there a way to target the bullet list directly? tasks-plugin does this pretty well.

Is it possible to get all the sub-bulleted items underneath a tagged one?

Can this also be used to list all content under headings with that tag? (similar to using ![[DOC#HEADING]])

The solution AB1908 offered worked great for me. I wanted to ask for a way to sort these entries, most recent to the top?

I am adding some notes in a format shown as below. I'd like the newest date to show towards the top of the document.
Can someone suggest how i might sort based on date?

• 2023-09-15 note information here #foo
• 2023-09-16 note information here #foo

If all your bullets start with date, add SORT L.text DESC
