Keyboard Maestro is great. I have a KM macro that copies the annotation’s link. Another will paste any link on the clipboard as a Markdown transclusion.
The name confusion surrounding “annotation” is unfortunate, but the term is consistent within the two contexts where it’s used.
Maybe I’m too tolerant. I have to use OneNote at work and they won’t let me access anything on my LAN, like DT’s web server, from my work system. That makes me appreciate software that functions well.
OneNote. Ewww.
I hear you.
I also think this is not a critical problem per se.
It just adds up, when UI access and placement of things around the annotation we are discussing here intermingles w/ other potential sources of confusion.
But agreed, other parts like occluded/indirect access to creating aside-annotations and non-symmetric relationships (distribution over many different UI parts) is much more relevant for UX than the double naming per se.
(Though there is ample testomony in the forums that it is a regular source for confusion/opaqueness to non-power users - see for example here)
