My notebooks are all heavily interlinked. Every note contains many links to other notes. This is essential to how I organize my information. If link support does not work well I am forced to migrate to another app. Two fixes are desperately needed to make links usable in version 10.
When clicking an internal link in a note opened in its own window, open the link target in that window, not in the main window. Opening it in the main window is insanity.
It has nothing to do with the current context in which I'm working.
It destroys the context I chose and want in the main window.
It leaves the current window open but hidden in the background having to be manually found and closed later.
It makes navigating back to the note I was in impossible
Essentially it turns Evernote from a functional multi window app into a broken, unintuitive, inconvenient mess for heavy users of internal links like me.
Clicking a link should navigate to the link target, not show some editing information. Requiring two clicks and mouse movements to navigate a link is absurdly inconvenient for such an extremely common user task. You read and navigate far far more often than you edit. It's obvious that you should optimize convenience for the common case, not the edge case of wanting to edit a link. At the very least provide an option to navigate rather than edit as the default action when clicking a link.
I cannot believe that neither of these UI design disasters have been fixed 3 months later in spite of complaints. Please Evernote. Please don't force me to go through a painful migration to another service through UI design decisions so bad that the app becomes so inconvenient and quirky as to be virtually unusable.
