Books and links are not org roam nodes

You may notice that I didn’t implement my reading list or my links as org-roam notes.

That decision has to do with how these all these files are exported to HTML. My process for exporting my org roam notes involves an intermediate step of first converting them to Hugo flavoured markdown via ox-hugo, and then converting that markdown to HTML.

The problem is that markdown (as far as I’m aware?) doesn’t give you as much control over the final HTML export. So I’m not sure how I would ensure that each cover image in my book list gets a “loading lazy” attribute attached to the HTML img tag.

By keeping everything in org, and converting it directly to HTML, I have more control over the final result. But this means that it’s easier to keep these files distinct from the rest of my org roam notes.
