Indeed, the in-note T.O.C. is a useful feature — and agreed, I imagine they'll tighten up that experience. But nice to have!

Hey, they just added anchor links, plus Table of Contents within a single note! Thanks for posting about this to begin with (and unfortunate that someone was trying to  bully you into  posting it on a separate thread): yours was the first post that I found when Googling how to use this feature . Evernote does not clearly explain it anyhwere — to be fair, presumably because they just released this.

It took me a second to figure out, but your anchor link only works with headers.

To find the anchor link, hover over the header and a link icon appears to the right:

As a side note, I made mine a Small Header (first changing "Update Small Header" to match the font style of the text that I gave the header — nice feature, Evernote!):

 

 

I also found another way to find the file location (on a Mac):

 

1) Type Cmd. + i (i as in "iceberg"), to reach the "Get Info" window.

 

2) About 4 lines down in the window, copy the file location from the "Where" row. A sample file location looks like: "/Users/sampleusername/Documents/2014/work_mileage_2014"

 

 

 

While that will work, it's a bit laborious.  For those that need to do this often or want a simpler method, see:

Copy file or folder path to the clipboard in Mac OS X Lion

 

I use this and it works well.

 

Thanks, JMichael. I'll try it out!

when i "copy as path" and paste the link, i can not click on the path to open file.

 

when i create a shortcut as Contlmprovement suggested, i now have a clickable link but instead of opening the file, my computer wants to download it :/

 

i may implement nro's idea in the future.

You need to hit "Cmd. + K" to create the link, NOT just paste the link.

FYI: I'm on a Mac, and the shortcut ("alias") did not work for me, either.

I also found another way to find the file location (on a Mac):

1) Type Cmd. + i (i as in "iceberg"), to reach the "Get Info" window.

2) About 4 lines down in the window, copy the file location from the "Where" row. A sample file location looks like: "/Users/sampleusername/Documents/2014/work_mileage_2014"

3)Paste that file location after "file://" to create something that looks like "file:///Users/sampleusername/Documents/2014/work_mileage_2014". It doesn't appear to need the file type (in my case, an Excel file). FYI: you end up with three forward-slashes after "file:".

4) Open Evernote and click "Cmd. + K" to create a link. Pasting the link (Cmd. + V) will not work.

5) FYI #2: this method doesn't show the full location if your file is on your desktop. In that case, enter the file name after "/Users/sampleusername/Desktop". Though I don't recommend having files permanently live on your desktop (they clutter your desktop and use up processing power), so I'd put them in a folder first, for better file management.
