Fully Integration with Breadcrumb

[LeonardoGentile]

Breadcrumb introduced some nice featured to avoid writing metadata in every single files, see Alternative Hierarchies

Let's says I have a /MyFolder/Index.md one that I use very often is Folder Note:

---
BC-folder-note: children
BC-folder-note-up: parent
---

or

BC-folder-note:: children
BC-folder-note-up:: parent

When I place this in the front-matter or as a DV field then all the notes within /MyFolder/ result as children of the Index note.

This avoids to write in every single note within that folder the metadata parent:: [[Index]]
Is there a way to achieve this in excalibrain or to fully integrate the BC Alternative Hierarchies?

Thanks

Originally ExcaliBrain was built on top of BC. Unfortunately, Breadcrumbs (at the time, maybe still) did not differentiate between the same filename but in different folders. As a result, I moved ExcaliBrain to be based on DataView. Whatever format Dataview supports, ExcaliBrain should also support it.

I don't use frontmatter for defining the hierarchy because those fields don't get updated when I rename or move files. Instead of the frontmatter, I recommend adding dataview fields in the body of the document. You can always hide them by placing the section in markdown comments:

%%
parents:: [[parent doc]]
%%

Thanks for your answer.
It's clear, but the big missing part is still the flexibility that breadcrumbs gives you with BC-folder-note.

By using this field you mark all files contained in the folder to have some bc attributes

Would this be possible somehow in excalibrain?

I don't use frontmatter for defining the hierarchy because those fields don't get updated when I rename or move files.

This shouldn't be a problem anymore thanks to the introduction of properties, see my comment here.

Now that this is not a problem anymore would still consider the integration of the two plugins?

would like this feature for BC-regex-note as well, or is there another way to do that?
