After reading this post on how to organize people in Obsidian, I finally started doing it myself.
Immediately I was faced with a new problem: how do I organize locations? I could think of two ways to deal with it from the top of my head:
- Each location has its own note, which is then cross-linked. So
departmentwould be linked tocompanywhich would be linked to thecitywhere it is located. - Hierarchy inside a few notes. This would look like
[[country#subregion#city#company#department]]
The second option would result in fewer scattered notes, but I’m unsure if that is actually desirable.
What system do you have?


I often save pins of notable locations on Google Maps. I don’t keep that stuff in Obsidian.
If you want to link that to a note, maybe you could reference a note ID on the pin.
