Seeking a Better Way to Handle ID-Based Links Between Archive and Obsidian

ashish

I primarily use The Archive as my main Zettelkasten app but rely on Obsidian for syncing across devices and accessing my notes on mobile. One challenge I face is how links work between the two apps.

In The Archive, my notes are linked using unique IDs, while the file names follow the format "ID Title". However, in Obsidian, linking by ID alone isn't straightforward as each time I click a link, a new blank note opens. I know I can use aliases to make the links compatible, but I don't like how they appear in my notes—I'd prefer to keep just the ID visible.

What I'm looking for:
- A way for Obsidian to recognize and resolve ID-based links properly.
- Ideally, when clicking or transcluding a link, it should display the corresponding note without needing an alias in the text.
- A solution that works on mobile, where clicking these links currently opens a new link every time, making navigation cumbersome.

I've checked the Obsidian forums but haven't found a clear answer. Has anyone here found a creative workaround for this? Any insights would be much appreciated!
