The Hotkeys for specific files plugin enables users to assign custom hotkeys to open specific files directly in Obsidian. This streamlines access to frequently used notes or documents without needing to navigate manually. Users can configure file-specific commands through the plugin settings, with additional support for the Hover Editor plugin to open files in a floating editor pane. This feature is ideal for enhancing workflows by providing quick access to important notes with just a keypress.

The External File Linker plugin allows users to link and embed external files within Obsidian using a familiar syntax. It supports relative and absolute file paths, enabling access to files outside the vault, including markdown, PDFs, images, audio, and video formats. The plugin also introduces a group-based system, making it easy to reference the same folder across multiple devices with different base paths, ensuring seamless access regardless of the operating system.
