treat readwise exports as read-only

I consider all exports from Readwise in my Obsidian vault are considered read-only.

why # 1: in case i want to update readwise to obsidian exports settings, i can just delete all the exports
why # 2: Readwise just dumps new highlights into the file
why # 3: the Readwise plugin isn't bi-directional

if i need to rephrase/edit a highlight, i can do so in readwise and then re-sync (how to edit readwise highlights)

if you want to write about a highlight, reference it with embeds.

This Obsidian plugin can be used to enforce that those notes open in read-only (non-editing) mode:

this obsidian plugin lets you force certain modes when opening notes:

Plugin page: Force note view mode
https://github.com/bwydoogh/obsidian-force-view-mode-of-note

The description only mentions frontmatter, but the actual plugin menu provides a way to set particular folders and files as read-only (no frontmatter needed).

The obsidianUIMode: preview is setting will disable the editor.
