One cool feature from denote is its ability to [transclude](https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote#h:50160fae-6515-4d7d-9737-995ad925e64b) both links as well as content by simple regex. Is there a gist function or equivalent plugin for org roam to get transclusion of links based on a filetag? like a main history node with automatic links to all other `:history:` tagged nodes? ---

Why not use both? I do. ---

Isn’t denote competing with org-roam? – I have never tried it, but I keep hearing about it. Also I have no idea what OP is talking about – but wont your library `org-transclusion` fit his use case here ? ---

From my understanding of org-transclusion, it’s more meant for showing the content of files with a link to that file. I want something more like: ```auto #+BEGIN: roam-tags-transclude :history :headings-only [[id:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000][Civil War]] [[id:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000][WWI]] [[id:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000][WWII]] #+END: ``` with that block adding or removing links when filetags in the database change. ---

Hmm that would be a really helpful feature to have - I don’t think its possible currently - as nobiot has suggested denote may be used in conjunction with org-roam… maybe you can try that, If you want I can write a function that will print out the information like that for a tag you provide – but it wont be dynamic – meaning youd have to run the refresh very manually, I think it would be possible to create a overlay too and create a refresh mechanism but for that – but if denote would work – why not try it ? ---

I almost forgot - if you just want to see this information dynamically - and dont want this data printed inside an org-buffer like maybe denote would do - you can use `delve` from Public Image Limited, I think its a real good tool to view your notes and create collections. > **[GitHub - publicimageltd/delve: Delve into your org-roam zettelkasten](https://github.com/publicimageltd/delve)** > > Delve into your org-roam zettelkasten.

If I remember correctly, it uses an ID or a filename. ---

Thanks @akashp but I still don’t get understand what @angel is wants. ---

I think they want a list of nodes that have this tag – rather than the content thereof. The correct meaning of transclusion is to show the content of some other buffer in another buffer - which org-transclusion does, but denote also implements a form of transclusion – which is imo a misnomer, but it is what they want. ---

Thanks, now I get it. What @angel wants is an always up-to-date list of incoming links? ---

Yes I think so, the package I referred earlier creates a buffer to show “collections” and can be reused to do this – I think denote does this in an org-buffer – I don’t know if there exists currently any mechanism outside denote to do this… in the org buffer itself. ---

Personally, I would simply do a query to the roam db inside a babel node (using elisp, so I can get the name of the current node). This is probably info that it is not needed to be up-to-date every time one looks at it. ---

I think that’s the best idea too. I’m playing around with [org-roam-ql](https://github.com/ahmed-shariff/org-roam-ql) to see if that’s what I want.
