Surrounding context in backlinks #190
Comments
A larger goal here is to continue to keep the UI lightweight and simple. |
I'm also interested in being able to 'label' links between notes, for example to label with a reason as explained in #185 . While I do like the idea of surrounding text as context, I was actually wondering if it would be possible to have a note itself be the link label between two notes notes.
could be labeled like this
By being able to use notes as link labels, there is the potential to have additional information in the structure for free. For example, look what happens when we have two note-links:
we have the set of 3 original notes: but then we also have a new set of note-links that themselves are a Folgezettel: This connection may have never been made manually, but it 'falls out' of the structure. Brainstorming like this shows it could have benefits for future features. After all a text label can just be seen as an empty note with only a title. Note: If viewing a Zettelkasten as a category, this may be related to the Arrow Category |
@bulbousBullfrog Link labels can be implemented as a plugin (we don't have a plugin architecture yet; it is in roadmap), without baking it into the core of neuron. commonmark's attributes extension can be used to extend Markdown, so you can do something like: @leira Agreed. |
The "surrounding context" of a link or a tag is the text surrounding it.
For example, if a zettel links to two other zettels:
In the zettel
[[er3ksi33h]]
(titled Mindset), the link to this zettel should also show the surrounding context which is "Anger throws one off the learning <Mindset>. " Same for the second link.Likewise, for if a zettel uses a tag:
Then when displaying its link in a zettel that queries for the tag, we should display (perhaps as hover text) its surrounding text.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
