Add new update for the usage of this script.
16 line: await document.PathLinkerApi.runOnBackend(async (path) => {
need update to below
16 line: await document.PathLinkerApi.runAsyncOnBackendWithManualTransactionHandling(async (path) => {

This update is due to trilium app (win 0.62.5) notice me like below once i double click on the file link line.
ERROR: You're passing an async function to api.runOnBackend() which will likely not work as you intended. Either make the function synchronous (by removing 'async' keyword), or use api.runAsyncOnBackendWithManualTransactionHandling()
