Table summarizing input/output/refresh mechanisms for various plugins.
linkCommon themes that enable the functionality in popular plugins:
Allow one or more options to be added to the triple dot note menu (maybe also triple dot for other modes)
Allow the content of an expression to be changed after it is evaluated
Send a note's markdown & HTML to plugin, allow it to send back markdown/HTML that is inserted into note
Allow canvas and/or iframe elements to be Prosemirror nodes
Allow font-family to pass through our prosemirror syntax validation
Retain the connection between an inserted note element and the plugin that produced it, allowing the plugin to re-render the element's output when said element is clicked
Allow plugin to initiate a download (for all the plugins that want to transform note content to PDF, word doc, etc, stuff that's on leaderboard & would def be nice not to program ourselves)
Enable editing YAML frontmatter and enable plugins to receive array of frontmatter for notes that match title wildcard or tag
linkOther functionality that would enable more than one plugin/use case
Allow plugin to pop up a dialog to gather additional user choices after invoking it (enables "Control colors & fonts (283k)," "Create buttons (76k)")
Allow a note whose node is controlled only by a plugin (partially enables "Kanban (503k)"
Around 20-30% of the plugins could have a case made that they deserve a button in the note toolbar (ex: insert Twitter/YT embed; generate dynamic ToC; create a button)

Excerpts from Winston on Twitter: "Instead of curating a list myself, I thought it would be interesting for the @obsdmd community to chip in on ONE favorite plugin indispensable to their workflow and why someone new to obsidian should use it! Use likes to agree with each comment, let's see your workflows... 🧐" / Twitter added 01/17/22 at 12:11pm
