McDeez 1 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I was just wondering if there is a function that would allow me to do this? It would save me a ton of time. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,134 Posted January 6, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 6, 2015 You can link a note to a note, not necessarily just text within a note. In Windows, right click on the note you want to be linked, select Copy Note Link, and then paste that link into the other note. This will create a link in the second note to the first. You have to be careful if you use note links in local notebooks since they will be lost if you ever have to restore a local notebook. Link to comment
McDeez 1 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 I realize this function exists. I was just wondering if there was a less cumbersome way of doing it. For example I have a list of class objectives that I would like to easily make a linked note for each objective. I feel like it would be more logical to be able to highlight something and have a quick option like "link to new note" tin order to easily define things. Maybe this post would be better placed under a feature request thread. Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,134 Posted January 7, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 7, 2015 Could be a feature request, though more detail might help. One last thought, you could create a note foe each objective and then create a table of contents comprised of those notes. FWIW. Link to comment
LBA1224 0 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Is this only in Premium? I tried doing this, and it just copied the note to the clipboard. Thanks. Link to comment
McDeez 1 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm no expert, but I do have a premium account. For me, I right click on a note in OSX to get the option "Copy Note Link". Which can then be pasted in the "Link" option when right clicking highlighted text. Link to comment

Wordsgood 526 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Edit: I should clarify my below response was definitely for Windows users. I didn't catch that the OP was a Mac user. Sorry about that! Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,111 Posted January 9, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was just wondering if there is a function that would allow me to do this? It would save me a ton of time. There is currently no "Option to Highlight Text and "Link to New Note"".So this would be a feature request. However, since you are using EN Mac, it is possible to write a small AppleScript to perform this function.Using AppleScript and a utility like FastScripts, you could create a KB shortcut to execute the function.If you are interested in this approach, you can Google "Evernote AppleScript". Feel free to post back here if you have any questions. Link to comment
Desdamona 2 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Windows DesktopEvernote 5.8.3.6507 Sync was done after creating notes Trying to link one note to an item in a summary note: Using the 'normal' procedure, I always get https://When I use the cntl key (as suggested an earlier article), I get evernote:///view/(lots of numbers, letters, stuff). Not the title of the note I did the 'copy note link' on.If I add this link to the summary note item, nothing happens. How do I get this to work? Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,134 Posted February 8, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 8, 2015 If you use the standard Copy Note Link functionality you should get a link with the title of the note after you paste into your summary note. Copy Note Link can be found by right clicking in a list view or going to Note on the menu bar. This isn't happening for you or isn't exactly what you are seeking? Link to comment
Desdamona 2 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well, now it's working as advertized. I know I did several sync's yesterday, and I wasn't getting the link when I pasted into the summary note. Link to comment
