![]() If we think of linking between two notes as creating new meaning , filtering by tag would be akin to narrowing down the set of definitions for a concept.Īnother way to visualize this: if you link every mention of a work colleague you interact with (say, and you include a mention of the project they refer to (say #Amplenote), tag filtering enables you to effectively find all instances in which you meaningfully interacted with Huckleberry about an Amplenote project. This list of backlinks can get very long , so whenever I want to exclude mentions that come from my (rather frequent) fitness journal entries, I can filter the backlinks to include only tags containing wiki, which is where more technical information tends to end up in my case. We've improved this by introducing the option to filter backlinks based on the tag of the source note.Įnter a tag to filter the list of backlinks that are shownĪs an example, in the gif above I'm looking at the backlinks for my note on deadlifts. Bidirectional linking is less useful when you have such a long list of backlinks that you can't find what the one you want. ![]() Once a user incorporates backlinking into their regular workflow, a common problem that follows is having too many connections into a note. If you want to start tracking all references to David Allen in your notes, you just have to create a page called "David Allen", and then use unlinked references to create new links. For the users among you that like being on top of the connections between their ideas, this feature will make it significantly easier to start interlinking your notebase.Īnother more immediate example of where this is valuable is with mentions of books, films, people or other things that we normally refer to by proper nouns . This has factored into the adherence of note taking systems such as Zettelkasten. One of the key differences between "searching for a word across many notes" and "having backlinks from a note" is that the latter option gives meaning to a note by attaching it to another concept. Clicking on the link-shaped icon at the right end of a row will convert that reference to a note link and add it among the backlinks. This allows us to decide which occurrence makes sense as a link, in order not to break the semantic association between notes. In the picture above, every instance of the word Deadlift is featured on a separate row (even if they occur on the same line). ![]() Notes that reference the current note title, one click to convert them to official backlinks ![]()
