Link manipulations

[KillyMXI]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Wikilinks are convenient where they are supported, but if I need to keep the document compatible - I'd like to have an option to convert them to equivalent Markdown links.
Currently there seems to be no way to do it automatically and brackets autocompletion fights me when I try to do it manually.

Describe the solution you'd like

Introduce commands/refactorings to change between link types. Refactorings for individual links, commands for whole document.

For example, Obsidian plugin that does the same thing: https://github.com/mii-key/obsidian-links
(Not all of it might be necessary in context of Foam)

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Separate vscode extension
  • I can't find any vscode extension that would do the same thing;
  • If there were such extension - it most likely introduces its own wikilink support, that might lead to conflicts;
• Text replace
  • Manually writing regex every time I need this feature - is a chore that should be avoidable;
• Text replace rules extensions
  • Extension example: https://github.com/bhughes339/vscode-replacerules
  • Should allow to write replace rules once;
  • General purpose find-and-replace, not aware of any context (can't use document title for example);
  • Might not support all scenarios (runs on full document, not individual links).

Although I wouldn't say it's a priority for Foam, I like the idea, and given the model Foam has of the system, it don't expect it to be super complicated to implement. If anyone wants to look into it I will be happy to provide pointers
