I just made the [[References (template)|References]] template with it. Using this concept, I can basically do two things: > 1) Render dataview as snippets to be placed manually throughout notes > 2) Run random Javascript scripts with a simple command, and modify my vault through a combination of dataview and Obsidian vault API. > > In this article, the author took the second approach. It's a pretty powerful concept that you can just use Templater to run a Javascript script with access to dataview. You don't even need to see a template as a "file template" anymore, it's can be just a single execution script on your vault, without having to write anything to the current file.
