Hover Messages

Adam Coddington edited this page Feb 11, 2024 · 4 revisions

You can configure Obsidian Web to alert you when the link you are hovering over has a dedicated note (see Page Notes) or has been mentioned on a note. Once enabled and you hover over such a link, a message will be displayed adjacent to your mouse cursor (See "Located very near CTA Red Line" above).

Some frontmatter fields can be used to control what information is shown in this message:

  • web-message: This message will be displayed in the hover message.
  • web-badge-color: By default, circle on the left side of the hover message is yellow or blue depending upon whether the linked URL is found to have a dedicated note or was just mentioned in a note. You can set this color explicitly by setting this color; see Special Frontmatter Fields for more information.
  • web-badge-message: This short message will be displayed in the hover message alongside the longer web-message.
