Description
I have a DatacoreJSX dashboard that reads frontmatter from the "active file". I embed this dashboard into candidate files. When I hover over a link to these candidate files from a parent file, the dashboard incorrectly reads the parent file's frontmatter.
File Structure
parent.md ← has its own frontmatter
└── [[candidate.md]] ← hover preview triggers here
|
└── candidate.md ← has candidate-specific frontmatter
└── ![[dashboard.md]] ← embedded DatacoreJSX
dashboard.md
const targetFile = app.workspace.getActiveFile();
// expects to read candidate.md's frontmatter
// but in hover preview, gets parent.md
candidate.md
---
status: "Interviewing"
talent: "John Doe"
---
![[dashboard.md]]
parent.md:
---
# unrelated frontmatter
---
Check candidate: [[candidate.md]]
Expected Behavior
When I hover over [[candidate.md]] in parent.md, the popup preview should show candidate.md's data (status: "Interviewing", talent: "John Doe").
Actual Behavior
The popup shows parent.md's frontmatter (empty or unrelated data).
Question
How can I make the embedded DatacoreJSX block always read the file that contains the ![[...]] embed, regardless of whether it's being viewed directly, embedded, or hover-previewed?
What I've Tried
Using app.workspace.getActiveFile() – fails in hover preview context
Using dc.useActiveContext() – same issue
Request
Is there an API to get the "embedding file" rather than the "active file"?
Or a way to detect hover preview mode and get the correct file reference?
