Something that bothers me about #Obsidian is that (to my knowledge) it’s not possible to open a #Markdown document outside the vault. You must import the document into your vault before being able to edit it.

I find that annoying. It should definitely be possible to open a document outside the vault/workspace to view and edit it. It will be a feature I will add to my notes app.

I think, when opening a document outside the workspace, it should open in a separate window that doesn’t include the sidebar but only shows the document by itself.

Otherwise I need to figure out a way to make it clear for the user which files are part of the workspace and which are external.

Are you sure that isn't possible with Obsidian? I'm a Logseq user. But, awhile back I did a test of having them share markdown, which is all on the file system. It did work. Here is the guide I followed: https://x.com/rroudt/status/1443546448675573760

That's not true. I can read both md and mdx files externally of Obsidian. On Linux laptop RaspberryPi and Android. I use the same vault, replicated across three different OS using Syncthing.
