Bug report: Links used in properties are not recognized by Dataview?

[aravindk100]

What happened?

When I use inline dataview variable, Dataview query can find those links using inlinks, outlinks or direct match but when I use the new properties and links in the new properties, dataview cannot match against those links. Using links in properties is a newly enabled capability, so not sure if that broke some existing assumptions.

DQL

TABLE type, status
WHERE goal = this.file.link OR contains(file.outlinks, this.file.link) OR contains(file.inlinks, this.file.link) OR project = this.file.name
sort type DESC, status DESC

We haven't really looked at any insider updates as the author has been working on datacore (successor plugin). I'm busy with my own plugin too, as much as I've love to support my favorite plugin. I don't know the level of backcompat blacksmithgu is aiming for but let's wait for his first release to see if we'd need this.

Thanks for all the work and appreciate the response. Will stick with inline variable until this is supported I guess.

I opened PR #2030 with a potential fix for this issue. I could use some help testing it out if anyone is up for it.

@rocketnova Do you know if your fix is still working? I am on version 0.5.67 and I noticed tha tfile.outlinks is working (WHERE contains(file.outlinks, this.file.link)) but it does not work when I check on the property directly (WHERE project = this.file.link).
