Here's an idea forĀ note-linking which would be very, very fast and would save a measurable amount of time and clicks.
What do you ENers think of it?
What if you could use some very specific charactersĀ (like Markdown or something like that) in a first note, place it around some text and that would tell EN to automagically create a new, second note with that marked text as the new note'sĀ title?
Use case example:
Let's say I would beĀ writing a note with some tasks in it. It would be kind of high-level for the day's todo's:
[ ] Get XYZ task doneĀ
[ ] Create ABC Project and get it started Ā Ā
But ABC ProjectĀ would need to have more text and tasks than I would want to put in this first note.
So what I would really need would beĀ a new noteĀ to house the many tasks and subtasks inĀ ABC Project.
Create new, second note without leaving first note
When I would type that second task, still from within my first, original note,Ā Ā I would do something like "...{{ABC Project}}..."Ā
The "{{Ā }}" would triggerĀ EN to create that brand new note for me with the title "ABC Project" and would hyperlink it to the first note -- WITHOUT EVER LEAVING THE FIRST NOTE.
So now I could click on "ABC Project" and jump right to that new note and would be able to start typing the project up.
No extra clicks, no leaving the original note.
Instead I would have completely bypassed the multi-click process of making a new note and then linking it back to my original note, etc.
And when done, I could gracefully use the "Back" arrow to return to my original note.
Magical!

There is a feature like this in the text editor Obsidian and I just thought it was brilliant. Unfortunately that app doesn't work well as a task manager, or I would practically have jumped over to it just for that feature.
The primary benefit for this is the the ability to maintain one's FLOW while writing and creating new linkedĀ notes.
