Does Obsidian markdown support cross-referencing headings within a linked vault?

Why are my frontmatter properties not rendering correctly in Obsidian's reading view?

Frontmatter properties may not render correctly in Obsidian's reading view if they fail to satisfy the frontmatter schema. Notes must maintain consistent metadata and render-ready structure to display properly in Obsidian's preview mode.
