DN linking local files question

[MessyHamster]

Is there a method to create a link to a local file in a note without needing to (command+option) drag it to the entry?

The Quick Start guide states

"To integrate files not supported by DEVONnote with the rest of your data, you can also create links to such files. Similar to the behaviour of the Finder, simply drag for example Excel or Corel Draw files to any DEVONnote browser window while pressing the and keys. Alternatively you can use the command “File > Link to…”.

However, whenever I select “File>Link To”, the file link is not inserted into the current note as it is when it is command+option dragged, but instead a new linked item is created in the current group hierarchy.

“File > Link To” adds links to the database. The only solution to insert links into a note is via command-option dragging & dropping files.

Thanks for the clarification.
Do you think that the section of the Quick Start Guide that I quoted is confusing in this regard?

If I may, I would like to suggest adding a Link command to the Contextual-Menu that brings up a file selection box to link a document inside of a note.

As the quote refers to links in the database (and not inside notes), this section should be correct. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, we’ll consider this for a future release.
