Is is possible to have Dataview Table query results show up as actual links in the graph view?

I love this plugin as it removes the hassle of having to manually add a newly created note to a central MOC or index page by just creating the note and including the appropriate metadata in it, that is great.

My usecase is to have all locations in my D&D world show up in the note used to keep track of the overall world, the "World" note, and that works well with a Table query. But the one thing which makes me a little sad is that as is, the table query (once executed) does not create connections from the Location notes to the World note, so all my locations seem to be singletons in the graph view.

I understand that a dataview query result is not in itself the contents of the MD file, but is there a way to enable connections to query results to show up in the graph view? Is this a planned feature at least?

Here is what I use as the table query and its result:


And then the graph view:

Also wanted to ask if this is possible. I have a few different use cases, but one is ingredients for recipes. I list the ingredients and the amount/serving in the YAML metadata, and then in the body I use dataviewjs to sort them alphabetically and calculate the actual amount based on the number of servings I want. Unfortunately this means that the recipe isn't linked to the ingredients in the graph view.

I get that there might be limits on this, due to potentially extensive or even not concluding queries that could be run in dataviewjs.

You'd have to either use a separate plugin or wait for #42. There is now a new dv.markdownTable that you could use to write results back to file, however.

Thanks! That will work for some cases that are pretty static (like authors of papers/books). It works less well for cases like the above recipes that are at least partially dynamic (I edit the # of servings based on how many people I am cooking for).

True that.
