_Typed links_ are the most basic, manual way to add edges to the graph. They can be added in two ways. ## Frontmatter Links In the YAML frontmatter of your note, you can add key/value pairs indicating a directed link to another note. The keys are your [[Edge Fields|edge fields]], while the values are links to different notes in your vault ```yaml --- parent: "[[A]]" child: ["[[B]]", "[[C]]"] --- ``` This tells Breadcrumbs that the `parent` of the current note is "A", and that its two `children` are "B" and "C". ```mermaid flowchart TD 1(Note) -- parent --> 2(A) 1 -- child --> 3(B) & 4(C) ``` ## Dataview Links If you have the [Dataview](https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview) plugin enabled, you can use their format of metadata as well. In the _content_ of a note: ```md parent:: [[A]] child:: [[B]], [[C]] ``` This creates the same structure as the [[Typed Links#Frontmatter Links|frontmatter links]] method above. > [!TIP] > Use the [[Edge Field Suggester]] to speed up adding Dataview typed-links ### Markdown Links If you have Dataview enabled, Breadcrumbs will automatically detect and add edges from _markdown links_. These take the following format: ```md field:: [note name](path/to/note.md) ```
