Clip selection to Obsidian

Yes I forgot to mention these prerequesites:

  • You must have Obsidian installed.
  • The Daily Note plug-in must be activated.
  • Either Include a heading # Clippings in the template file for the Daily Note, or add the heading manually.

This and my original post seems like a lot of prerequisites, but I believe these are standard one-time set-up tasks for anyone beginning to work with Obsidian.

Very Important

The reivsed code for the Obsidian extension snippet that @nick posted above is great – however do not use it as-is. You must replace the string test vault (in single quotes) in line 6 with the name of your own destination vault. Otherwise, the clipper will fail with a very annyoying Obsidian message.
