with this action you can leave those links empty like this “your link text”.
Once you run this action it will look for all of the empty links and then ask you to fill them.
You can manually enter a url (or whatever text you like, who am I to judge), paste from the clipboard if you’ve been doing some research, or you can open google to search for your link text. When you go back to your draft you can paste in the text.

Prompt to select from a list of existing drafts with the tag “template” assigned, then create a new draft with the content of that template.
To create templates available in this action, simply type your template in a draft, and assigned the tag “template” to that draft. It can be in the archive or inbox. The template can contain Drafts tags to insert time stamps or other dynamic data in the template. Also, any tags other than “template” assigned to the template draft will be assigned to the new draft automatically.
If the template contains the string <|>
, the <|>
will be removed, and the initial cursor position in the new draft placed at that location.
When run, if “Omit First Line in New Draft” selected in the prompt, the first line will be removed from the template. This allows you to use a friendly name for the template as the first line of the template without having it included in the new drafts created.
Note: This action used functionality which requires a Pro subscription.

Description:
Example action demonstrating how one could auto-create related meta data drafts to enter notes about the current draft, and flip back and forth to that meta data draft using an action or keyboard shortcut.
The first time this action is run on a draft, it will create a new draft with the tag metadata
, filed in the archive, with front matter like:
# Draft Meta Data
Title: <Draft Title>
Source: <Link to Source Draft>
You can then enter notes about the draft in this metadata note.
If this action is run again from the meta data note, it will look for and open the source draft. If you are on the source draft, and a meta data draft exists already, it will navigate to it for adding additional notes.
In use, assigning a keyboard shortcut to this action would easily allow you to toggle back and forth between the draft and it’s meta data.
The meta data note, once created, could also be opened in a separate window for editing next to the source draft on iPad or Mac.
