Testing items through x-devonthink-item:// links

One thing I found quite useful was building maps in MindNode, where each node was a tag I was using in DEVONthink and had a link to the DT tag (group) link. They were neat for visual thinking, allowing a degree of reorganisation and annotation. I could use the previews of the maps to quickly jump to matching content in a DT window, sometimes exposing things I’d tagged but not seen in that context before. QuickLook nicely previewed MindNode maps and made links clickable, so it seemed like a natural extension of DT. However, this required a lot of disciplined tagging work (at one stage I’d hacked together a script to naïvely automate tagging, but it was not ideal and I’ve not updated it for DT3; I also felt DEVON Technologies advised against this use of tags). Some LLM magic in macOS may yet find a way, but LLM is looking like it’s only suitable for autocompletion tricks, rather than having viable RAG and domain-specific tools that clodhoppers like I can take advantage of.
