Only generate links for pages that exist

[SaysKez]

In a digital gardens, you may have a [[wiki link]] to a note that does not yet exist or is in a private folder. It would be great if links to pages that do not yet exist were left in the double bracket style or could be handled separately instead of being converted to a html link which will only end up at a 404 (but anyone viewing the notes does not know this until they click on the link).

how about if the href became a #?

That would be better than ending up on a 404 page, yeah! Maybe even if the hover preview content could default to something like 'note not yet created' or similar.

But I still the ideal would be to have some way to remove the link entirely and/or allow them to be styled differently. As long as it looks like a link, you expect it to function like other links so clicking and not going anywhere would still be jarring.
