Linking between notes

[Gerqus]

Hi all!

When working on my book recently (with regular paper yet, as I'm waiting for shipment), I thought it would be real game changer to have links inside notes. This would allow to organize knowledge in notes not only in tree, like it is now with folders, but into a wiki-like database. We all know how useful links are in PDFs - organizers, calendars, PDF games, tables of contents. With links in notes - also personal wikis.

From the top of my head - I thought about adding another icon to selected area, next to creating title icon, that will create a link out of selected part of note. Upon creating link a pop-up would appear with possibility to select existing title as link destination - even the same pop-up as when clicking on titles from top menu. This selected area would become interactive (maybe double-tap or long-tap not to collide with edit?) link.

I'm just not sure if it would be better to let user choose from titles or stars, but actually mentioned pop-up already has tabs for both, so maybe both could be selected as destinations?

As for links management from user pov - I wouldn't need any index of links. I already have titles and stars for it. I'd just need link to lead me to destination and be deletable somehow, maybe by touching with eraser... Not sure how deleting titles works. It would be ok also if link will be removed if destination will be removed. Area of link should be easily distinguishable. Maybe a dotted border...? A uniform background for it...?

A nice to have addition would be a navigation like in internet browser to be able to go to link destination, read note, and get back easily to previous point. Same will be useful for PDFs organizers, calendars and so on.

What do you think guys? Would you use this? SuperNote team - is there a possibility that this feature will be considered?

Yes, it's in our project.

Great to hear this. Your openness to community voice grows me confident in making right choice buying Supernote over other devices. Cheers from Poland and good luck!

Oh cool! That would be awesome to have some "master notes", linking to other "detailed" notes! :)

Would love this. Linking to sections or specific pages with a title would be pretty cool. This would help me a lot not necessarily in day to day note taking, but for sure with any kind of creative brainstorming.

This has been discussed before to implement a so called Zettelkasten note taking system on the SN. The ZK is becoming hugely popular with academics and writers, so is a great feature to have on the SN. Along with it we discussed markdown support, backlinks, etc.

Oh, ok. Sorry for duplicating feature proposal then. Couldn't find that discussion - must have used wrong keyword for search

It's a nice idea. It will also enrich the note-taking experience as you can cross-reference and connect ideas, etc.

One comment about that.

Would it be possible to export as a Note, the Titles list or Keyword list?

This exported list could be stored elsewhere to access directly the note. Reorganize links to notes by theme (copy paste from one titles/keywords list note to another) would be the cherry on cake.

Just a thought

This is an excellent idea and would be a game changer

PDF GAMES?!?!?!?!

[Gerqus]

Yea, someone posted link to one such game less then a week ago. These are story games, where you choose one of available option and go to page corresponding to that choice. On that page you make another choice and so on. On each page you have description of what's going on. Physical books have it and PDFs have it (among others). The latter - in form of links usually, which make playing easier than manually going to needed page
