Revealing the location of a Wiki link

Seemed quickest to ask this way – if it would be better if I tried to write it out, let me know. :smiley:

Loom video:

The image flashes like a disco light on my iPad and on my Mac. Very irritating.

Edited to put the link out of view, out of courtesy to your viewing experience. :smiley:

You answered your own question at the end of your screencast… Data > Reveal or Command-R shows the location of the item viewed in the view/edit pane.

6

That reveals the location of the document that holds the wiki link… it doesn’t reveal the location OF the wiki link.

In your vdeo, you clicked the WikiLink to view the linked document. Revealing that shows the location of it.

Also, enable General > General > Automatically reveal items.

I’m sorry, I think I’m just being dense on this one, but –

  1. Part of my point was that the location breadcrumbs under inspectors is often so long that it flow off the edge of the screen, with the last and actual location being inaccessible. So, that doesn’t work.

  2. In terms of general preferences, I don’t want them to always automatically reveal. I like the upper portion staying where it is as a rule, and not constantly jumping around. I just want to /also/ be able to reveal the target of a wiki link when I wish to do so. Same as ‘reveal’ would work on a document.

I’m still not seeing a way to do that.

Still handcrafting data in the time honored traditions of family legacy - DT3, in other words.

One way to reveal the target of a link is right click it an open it in a new tab. Click the new tab, the location is revealed without command-R. At least in DT3.

If the wiki target has replicants, which one you get is probably luck of the draw.
