[Feature] Can a new file type called canvas be added like Obsidian? #899

Description

@tonghejiao

The function of canvas is the same as that of Obsidian, and several new functions have been added on its basis:

  • You can use the tab key to add new sub-nodes and other functions like a mind map.

  • And each node can be an md file. Click the node to display the file itself on the right side of zennotes, and you can edit it.

    And you can use the global search function (the default is leader+s+t in zennotes) to directly locate the content of a node in canvas.

    I think it would be better if such a function could be realized in excalidraw.
