manually cross-linking & adding rich text notes to items?

Bill de Ville said:

A document can have only one Annotation note, but on occasion I may have additional notes that link to that referenced document. DEVONthink has no way of informing me about such “linked to” occurrences, nor does the referenced document display any information about such links to it, other than the Annotation note link. The best I can do in that case is to add a note to myself with the links to other notes, within the Annotation note.

No longer!

I have implemented the ideas in a modification to Korm’s script in this thread

[url]Make an Annotation with Links, Notes, Tags v2 - #6 by korm]

To answer the original query from igoldsmid: If you give any item a tag which is the UUID of the original document it will show up in the tag group.

UUIDS are not easy to get manually. The following script will grab a selected documents UUID and put in on the clipboard. Attach it to a keystroke if its something you use often

tell application id "DNtp"
		set the clipboard to (the uuid of (the first item of (selection as list)) as string)
end tell

(It is worth pointing out that the open document may well not be the selected document (which is the highlighted document in the main DT window). This can lead to a lot of confusion between scripts which act on the selected document and those that work on the open window. Cmnd - R will always make the open document the selected document)
