Suggestion: Index Notes

[64European 1]

Using notebooks intensively creates notebooks containing hundreds of notes. Ordering by title or data is not of great help. If you are a blogger or keep your diary, an index can help to get a quick overview and to access notes quickly. However, this needs some manual action to copy note links and to paste them into the index. This could be done automatically. One needs only to extract the title line, create the link information and then write it into the index note. I think that could be a very helpful gadget for users working with large notebooks.

I use Table of Content

How do I create a table of contents with links to other notes?

And when a new notes is created, I add it using "Copy note link"

How to use note links to connect between notes

[64European 1]

Indeed, it is not that difficult to connect the index with a new note just be drag and drop. Things are different for the case you already have some hundreds of notes and want to save a few hours to get them clipped.

Not sure I fully understand the use case, but have you tried tags to group the notes?

[64European 1]

I try to make it more evident: tags work fine, but don't allow to give explanations, comments etc. on a note. For instance, I collect material for my lectures in a notebook. Part of my index looks like:

 

Cancer

Sequential cancer mutations (CRISPR/Cas9) // Lecture 3

Evolution: Cancer drivers everywhere? : Nature Reviews Genetics : Nature Publishing Group

GenomeWeb Daily News | GenomeWeb // Repeated Whole-Exome Sequencing of Tumor

Cancer stem cells tracked : Nature News & Comment

Lit Cancer - Sequencing from Blood // biomarkers

Complexity / simplicity - Weinberg 2014 // comment from Weinberg on the classical review

The microcosmos of cancer : Nature : Nature Publishing Group

Cancer/CStem Cells

Exome sequencing identifies GRIN2A as frequently mutated in melanoma : Nature Genetics : Nature Publishing Group

Melanoma Exome

Mutations in NOTCH2

 

Once the index is build, I can add, modify etc. the links to the notes. Adding is just as easy. But for the first step, creating the list is somewhat tedious.

Got it thanks.  Could try the TOC solution and then drag the titles about within the note...  Not optimal I am sure.
