Link Types & Mentions
10.16.20 * Harlan
In the new v12 parlance, there are several types of links:
- Mapped Links: Connections shown in the map/plex (parents, children, jumps)
- Note links: Connections from a word in notes
- Backlinks: The reverse of a notes link
- Mentions: Not really links, but mentions a thought's name
Note links and mapped links are independent of each other. Removing one does not affect the other.
When a note link is created (via Ctrl/Cmd+K), if the target already exists, mapped links are not created or modified. If the target does not exist, you can create a mapped link at the same time, but you don't have to.
Right-clicking on a note link allows you to add, remove, or change a mapped link.
It's whole new way of thinking about links . . . .
