There’s a particular high level folder that I use a lot across many applications. I’d like it to behave similarly to Documents/Music/etc. in that it is visible in various applications when I go to browsing. I’m able to add my folder to the file viewer either drag/drop into the panel or through favorites but when I do things like try and open a new vault in Obsidian it only shows me the default folders. Is there a way to add a custom folder so everything can view it in the same way as Docs/Music/etc?
Edit forgot to add: I’m using Pop_OS! with Cinnamon DE
Now that’s an interesting question. I’m not familiar with Obsidian, but that could be something that’s unfortunately hard-coded into their GUI.
Symbolic links in Linux are meant to function more or less exactly like the full original link to the file/folder in question, but that doesn’t mean every GUI is designed the same.
No idea if it’s even something that can be readily done as you’re wanting in Obsidian, but you could try digging into their source code to try sorting that out for yourself, or perhaps contact their developers…
