Straight org-roam links not supported?

[agzam]

It doesn't seem to work for links like:

[[roam:foo]]

Even though backlinks appear in org-roam buffer. Only if the link is vanilla org link such as:

[[file:20210108200947-foo.org]]

Then it shows it on the page. Seems it doesn't work with org-roam-link-auto-replace set to nil

Added a custom variable org-roam-server-link-auto-replace. By default it is set to t. It will replace Org-roam's roam links with file links.

I still can't make it work. Is there something I'm missing? So I have:

• A few notes that contain [[roam:foo]] links
• My org-roam-link-auto-replace is set to nil
• In Emacs, Org-roam buffer shows backlinks when visiting Foo note
• I tried:
  • setting org-roam-server-link-auto-replace to nil, restarted server
  • setting org-roam-server-link-auto-replace to t

And that did not work for me. Graph shows all the notes that lead to "Foo" scattered around like miserable orphans.

I only fixed the html export, I forgot about the graph. I will look into it when I got some time.

The problem is edges for those links are filtered by the sql query in the graph function because they are not stored as file in the database. Query results are file -> file but the actual link for roam-link is id -> file. During the database creation adding org-roam-link-replace-all won't help either because the database isn't created yet so it can't replace the org-roam links. I also tested with org-roam-graph and the result is the same.

@jethrokuan do you have any suggestions?

Might have to rethink the whole caching and interaction mechanism in Org-roam, I think this will come back to bite us later on. Will post up some redesign plans soon-ish.

Also, while we at it (I'm not sure if this is related), can we please discuss the possibility of including links to headings (i.e.: [[roam:filename*Heading]] type of links) in the graph at some point?
