A |type:canvas or |type:base pick rendered without its extension, so it didn't match the file Obsidian links to. Name mode and picker labels now only drop .md.

Any other value is read as a file extension (|type:canvas). Types combine with commas (|type:image,pdf) or by repeating the option.

Summary by CodeRabbit
{{FILE:...}}tokens can select images, audio, video, PDFs, notes, all files, or specific extensions using|type:. Multiple types can be specified, and selected files retain their extensions in output.|tag:filters apply only to notes.
