Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I keep all my frontmatter properties in kebab case. Media DB allows only letters and underscores when remapping various properties.

Describe the solution you'd like
Please allow the use of dashes/hyphens as well. (It might be worth aligning with the YAML spec more broadly, or whatever obsidian allows as characters.)

Research direction

Start by locating the remapping validation or parsing entry point that currently accepts only letters and underscores. Extend the accepted property names to include hyphens, check how Obsidian frontmatter handles them, and verify that kebab-case properties remap successfully without breaking existing names.
