Cross-Linking

Connect items across any plugin — first-party or third-party. Every plugin that implements the linking interface supports cross-linking automatically, no configuration needed.

Cross-Linking

Linking creates a personal knowledge graph that spans your entire workspace:

  • Items from one plugin link to items in any other plugin
  • Everything connected, searchable, visible
  • Third-party plugins participate in the same graph as first-party ones

In any text field that supports rich content, type [[ to insert a link:

Discussed [[Project Alpha]] in today's meeting.
Need to follow up with [[John Smith]].

The search spans all plugins in your workspace — results can come from any module.

In Any Item

  1. Open the item
  2. Click Add Link or the link icon
  3. Search across all plugins for the item to link
  4. Select it

How It Works

Cross-linking is built into the plugin architecture. Any plugin — first-party or third-party — automatically participates in cross-linking. No extra configuration, no special setup. Install a plugin, and its items become linkable immediately.

When viewing any item, the Backlinks panel shows everything that links to it — across all plugins.
