Here is the custom metadata linking to another document
And here is the links inspector - in this document
I was expecting to see links out (source) and links in (destination file)
The source or destination document? The upper pane includes only visible links.
This document = source document.
Not seeing outgoing link in link inspector from the custom metadata link.
Does removing the link and adding it again fix this?
@_Phil Might you be over-complicating this?
If you track your searches in DT3 for a few days how many of them could be completed with the basic search capabilities built into DT3 without tags at all?
Particularly in a field you know well, there are likely key phrases or names which inevitably will appear in any documents on a given subject. You may thus be able to search simply using the full-text search feature for many of your queries.
Hi @cgrunenberg have done some more testing on this. No, removing and re-linking does not fix this. When I create a custom metadata link in the source document to a destination document, the following happens:
Source document Link Inspector: No outgoing links
Destination document Link Inspector: Incoming link is shown.
But interestingly, in the list view it shows an outgoing link
I would really love to solve this, as linking docs together is really important for my workflow.
Would love to know if this is a bug, or intended behaviour.
If intended behaviour, then I can fix it by cross-linking, ie: manually adding a link to both docs. I would prefer not to thought and it would be awesome if adding a link in one custom metadata makes the link show up in source & destination.
I can confirm, custom metadata with an Item Link data type isn’t showing in the Document > Links inspector…
Regarding the bible project, I’ve been doing something similar but more focused on typology for quite a long time in tools other than my brain. I’d be curious about your approach. While the content would differ in some ways, for instance, /Gerar/ being more of a type in my approach, while being a location as such in yours, I think I could benefit from how you go about doing this.
This project has been long in the running and I’ve barely scratched the surface of what I know much less what is available outside my own understanding.
What I found helpful early on with such an approach is that having a more visual representation of such knowledge more beneficial than have some a personal wiki of sorts. (Though with the maturity of tools available now, such thing are no longer mutually exclusive out of the box.)
The upper pane includes only visible links (of documents, web pages, rendered Markdown etc.).
By “visible links” I am assuming you mean that Item Link custom metadata does not show in the outgoing links of ANY document format?
If so, can this please be lodged as a feature request.
Yes, only the links of the document are shown in the upper pane and after selecting a link from this list, the link is selected in the document view (which is automatically scrolled if necessary)
A future release might support this but no promises.
