Please check that this issue hasn’t been reported before.
- I searched previous Bug Reports didn’t find any similar reports.
Expected Behavior
When hovering over a link in a task query it should show a preview window when the core plugin Page Preview is enabled.
Current behaviour
Previews do not show up.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new, empty vault
- Add and enable Tasks, from the Community Plugins store
- The bug appears from Tasks 3.4.0 onwards, but just download the current version, as normal (so long as this issue is still open)
- Create a new file called
File 1 - Add the following content to
File 1
# File 1
- [ ] Task in File 1
- Create a new file called
File 2 - Add the following content to
File 2
# File 2
[[File 1]] - hovering over this link should preview the contents of `File 1`.
```tasks
```
- In
File 2, hover over the link to File 1, and confirm that you can see a preview ofFile 1’s contents. - In
File 2, hover over the backlink in the Task query block results, and confirm that there is no preview ofFile 1shown.

Yes that’s right. That’s the code from #1810, which fixed the following:
It’s not exactly a fix, but in case it helps… Tasks 4.8.0, just released, now adds hyperlinks on
group by backlinksheadings… and hovering over those does show hover previews.Thank you @gypsyav for bringing this up. I’m also dearly missing the preview in my Tasks workflow. I hope it will get resolved soon. Anyway, thank you so much for this wonderful plugin @claremacrae!
