Hide @started, @reviewed, others from @mentions

I've been testing the Reviews plugin with NotePlan, and it introduces @started(date), @reviewed(date) and other "mentions" as a method for keeping status on certain notes. The issue is that for every date, a new @mentions tag is pushed into the navigation index -- greatly slowing and complicating the UI and note creation process (all of those entries slow down typing entry when you hit @) The reason this is a feature/bug request is that @done(date) is notably absent from the @mentions list, which is the desired behavior for these additional tags. There is definitely value in being able to drop certain tags/mentions from the human-facing cache.

This is similar to a request I made previously about standardization of '@' mentions for task status, here: https://noteplan.canny.io/general-feature-request/p/standard…

It occurs to me that another solution would be to simply trim the parameters (...) from the mentions/tags in the front-facing lists. The issue is with the endless multitude of x(dates), and not the tag/mention itself.

I very much support this as I have about 950 mentions and 240 hashtags in the sidebar list! In https://noteplan.canny.io/general-feature-request/p/making-a… I requested this in a slightly different way. But however it happens, it would be a big help to be able to manage these lists more sensibly.

Jonathan Clark: hey, thanks for your work on the plugin -- it's really quite useful. This quirk is the only downside, but having the ability to periodically review projects/notes (via your extension) outweighs the disadvantages.

it turns out that the Plugin supports using emoji's as valid replacements for @, so something like 🔎review(date) is possible. But the behviour quirk between @done() and everything else might still warrant broader custom access. Update: well, for reasons I can't quite pinpoint in the plugin code the emoji's won't work - so a nested mention (@reviews/reviewed(date)), etc. is the best approach for keeping the @mentions list cluttered.
