Add support for sections

[hopperbk]

Ticktick has the concept of Sections within Projects (or Lists) - similar to Todoist. It would be nice if we could specify #

# to have a newly-created task from Obsidian go to the specified Section within the Ticktick Project. This would allow more users to use the free tier of Ticktick, with the limited number of Projects.

Example:
Project - Home
Sections - Pool, Garage, Car

Enter a task with the tags #Pool #Home to have it created under the Pool Section of the Home Project.

That's been on my roadmap for a while. Last time I checked the API there wasn't a way to get the sections from TickTick. That may have changed.

Regardless, I can think of workarounds for that issue but the key question is: How would you want the sections to appear in Obsidian? I'm open to suggestions.

BTW: For syntax, we would follow TickTick's syntax for sections so in your example we would use ~Pool #Home or #Home ~Pool

With the goal being able to utilize the free tier of TickTick, a desirable feature would be able to distinguish between multiple sections within a single project. That way, those of us using the PARA technique could filter tasks on the Obsidian side using TickTick "Sections" to represent a PARA Project, and TickTick "Projects" to represent PARA Areas.

So in TickTick, you may have a Project "Work" with Sections for "Submit proposal for new bid", "Design a new widget", and "Research cloud native functionality." Those could map to Obsidian in terms of a PARA Area for "Work" and PARA Projects for "Submit proposal", "Design widget" and "Research cloud..."
