Wiki links and aliases

I’m discovering the features of using aliases as Wiki-type links in RTF files on macOS. I really like this a lot. It is faster than UUIDs, and if one also uses the alias in the document’s name, it provides a fallback should metadata ever get corrupted.

However, it is unclear to me to what extent Wiki-type links are supported in DTG. This includes, seeing and setting aliases for documents, creating/editing Wiki-style links in RTF files, and of course, using the links to jump to target documents (and back).

WikiLink creation is not supported in DTTG at this time. It may be a feature of the next major version.

Another vote for the Wiki-Links feature in DTTO. I was surprised to find that it wasn’t there after purchasing the app.

Yes please! My archive of wiki-linked notes, I just realized, are not in fact linked on the IPad ;(

It’s been a long time between drinks for DTTG. I hope WikiLinks make it to the next version.

In case of Markdown a workaround might be to

  • duplicate WikiLink records
  • convert the duplicated records’ WikiLinks to item links
