I have been hesitating about DevonThink for this kind of application, but I am not sure that is what it can do. That also brings the possibility that an alias one intends to create might already exist, so that should flagged by the system immediately. So, for a zettelkasten, I think most notes should have aliases associated with them. When I start a new note I want to find other notes I can link to, and depends on the concept the note deals with (I use # tags for that), as well as the words used in the text which is where Freelinks/Alias/Whatever comes in. To give a simple example, the note Home that I use as a starting point to navigate doesn’t have any aliases nor does it need any.Īh, but I am thinking about my zettelkasten, and in principle all notes in there are equal: there is no hierarchy and each note should have links to other notes. It all depends on the role of that note in your system. I have plenty of notes with no aliases and other with dozens of them. I mean, it displays them, but in slow motion. As it is right now, it can barely display my folder of notes (around three thousand files) with no connections between them (since they rely on auto wiki links). It would have to able to draw connections without the need of double brackets style links AND handle the enormous amount of connections that would pop up (which I am not sure it could do). I think the main problem would be for the graph view. Then it sorts and organizes them, adding the results to the bottom of each note or to a special metadata field. In DEVONthink I do this with an applescript that searches for occurrences of the title (and the aliases) of each note in the other notes. It all depends on the developers, actually. So, to make them completely useful you have to add square brackets amnually, which I find a bit laborious Would those unbracketed links be shown in the backlinks? In TiddlyWiki, Freelinks marks words as links without the use of square brackets, and those links, although clickable and therefore usable, do not show up as backlinks. would those unbracketed links be shown in the backlinks?

The Unilinks or Uni-Alias (can’t remember the exact name) in TiddlyWiki, as I mentioned to suggestion would be for an option to turn on automatic wiki links.
VOODOOPAD ALTERNATIVE SOFTWARE
Perhaps you could point out which software behaves in this way. But with FL you have to rely on a coincidence of typing the right note am not familiar at all with the behaviour you are describing. So, the difference is that with an Alias you have to use square brackets to make the link - and you have to remember which aliases you made - with Freelinks that’s not the case. If you type the highest mountain, as you normally would, FL won’t pick that up. With Freelinks, if you are typing a text and you happen to type The Highest Mountain, Freelinks will colour that as a link, you can even click on it, but in the raw markdown there are no brackets. Mount Everest, then each time you want to link to your note you can write either ] or ].
“The Highest Mountain”, and you have an alias e.g. If you are using aliases, then you will know if you typed the title of a note or any of the aliases of that note.Īs far as I know, if you have a note entitled e.g. We’re talking about Obsidian, not about DEVONthink nor about VoodooPad.Īliases are precisely for this purpose.
What do you mean by this? Double brackets? If so, then that is not the case in DEVONthink nor in VoodooPad.
But the fact that you mention them as a possible alternative to Freelinks led me to make that comment. Correct, you did not, and I did not say you did.
