Ability to turn off (or otherwise customize) page creation for articles

[rgarcia525]

I want to be able to turn off a page being created for each article - and I bet a lot of Roam users would agree with that.

Many Roam users are pretty protective about what becomes a page and what doesn't, so to have one autonomically made for every article read can easily "ruin" some people's graphs.

May sound diva-ish, but clogging up a graph (and search) is a big concern, especially after you've had one for a while.

Thanks for your consideration! :)

@rgarcia525 I'm open to all suggestions. However, for this one, it's unclear what would take the place of the article page. Would all data live in a daily notes page? If so, what happens if you make highlights/notes on the same article on different days?

Could you say more?

@hunterclarke The idea here is that the UID of the block in which the highlights are first pulled into a Daily Note would be where the highlights are indented as children. Then, if it's a different day, it could be a block reference of that same one.

Yup, pretty much what he said!

Using block references instead of page references.

(Sorry I didn't respond initially, guess it got lost in email)

Additionally:
You could instead have all highlights go to a master "highlights" page.

I'm sure many users like having their highlights on their Daily Notes Page, so then on any day you make a highlights, you could have a block reference to whatever highlight was made that day. (This could even be a user toggle-able option)

possibly indented under one parent block called something like:

• [[Highlights]] made today using [[Matter]]
