Adding a template to refactored note [enhancement]

[seb-mm]

Currently I write notes on a subtopic in my topic note and refactor them when I have enough for a subtopic note. Now I have to manually add a template and a link to the topic in the subtopic note.

It would be great if the refactoring could add a template automatically to the refactored note.
In the template I would like to include a placeholder. This placeholder should then be transformed to a link to the note from which I performed the refactoring action. (So more functionality than the standard Obsididan templates.)

Would this be possible?

# {{title}} <!-- this functionality is already implemented with the "first line of selected text as heading -->

<here is where the refactored text goes in the new note>



<!-- I would like to be able to add a template like under here to the new note automatically -->

This is my template for creating new notes . Under the arrow I always link to the note that is above it in the hierarchy, so in this case where I performed the note refactor. Currently I do this by hand. It would be great if a placeholder could be implemented for the template feature that has this behaviour.

In fact I don't want to add a template to the original note.
The current behaviour of inserting a link to the refactored note is not my optimal workflow, I mostly move it to the end of my original note (that's how I link downwards in the hierarchy).
I'm not sure whether it would be a lot of work to make a toggle for it to either insert the link to where the refactoring happened or to the end of the original note.
@mrjackphil's plugin (https://github.com/mrjackphil/obsidian-crosslink-between-notes) has this behaviour when linking a note up in the hierarchy by pressing a hotkey, that is what I would like to happen when I refactor a note.

edit: I hope I've used the word "refactored note" correctly, when I say this I mean the new note created from the original note.

Got it, thanks for the additional details. I think I have all I need to implement.
