Hi
I've been adding PDFs to my vault and since they can't have frontmatter I have an associated MD file to store the meta data for the pdf. I do this by having a link to the pdf in the md file's front matter. I'd really like to be able to input this link using a meta bind suggester to select the PDF file, but unfortunately pdf files do not appear in the suggester. It will display the link to them if I input them into the property manually, but I can't select them from the suggester modal.

Describe the Feature you'd like

I'd like PDFs, and really all native Obsidian file types if any others are missing, to be available in the select file inputs modals.

Research direction

Start by locating the select file input modals and the Meta Bind suggester, then compare their filtering with how manually entered PDF links are accepted. Done means PDFs, and any other missing native Obsidian file types, appear as selectable options in the relevant modals.
