Creating a new parent or sibling notes from a relation

[Grayda]

I'm using Trilium as a sort of memory-mapping thing (writing down everything I want to remember about the people and places in my life) and whenever I want to create a new note from a relation, it's always a child note, with no option to make it a sibling or a parent note. It'd be nice to do something like directory traversal in the terminal, where ./ is the current "directory", ../ is the parent and so forth.

So if you have a relation called "Sibling" (for a person), you should be able to type ./Bob Smith and it'll create a note just after the current note, called Bob Smith and if you do ../Bob Smith, the note would be created at the level above the current note.

This really is something I've wished for a long time. More generally, I'd love to be able to configure some templates so that they always have their templated notes under the same parent in the tree. For instance, if I create a project by referring to it in the Journal, I'd like to see this project cloned under my "folder" called "Projects", because the project will have the starting date as attribute, but is not directly linked to that entry in the journal, and it will have many more events linked to it later on.

Also, I think your suggestion is very important for protected notes. Let's say you're in protected mode and you realize you are mentioning a Person you had forgotten to create previously, then it will create this person as daughter note, making it protected as well. Then, in unprotected mode, you take the risk to create an unprotected duplicate of the same person. Also, if you manually take the time to unprotect that Person, you're left with a weird tree path : [protected] / [protected] / John Doe or things like this 😵‍💫
