Hi folks,
I use Evernote to do my research. I often write articles with inspiration from many web clippings, my audio recordings, images I clipped or taken with my camera, etc.
Once these research items are in EV, I would like a new kind of "tag". As I am reading a clipped source, I would like to be able to highlight text or images and assign a research tag to these items. I would apply these research tags to all the relevant source snippets I have and would like to then be able to build a new note consisting of these research tag extracts.
Essentially, by specifying a research tag in a new document, this would go retrieve all snippets I have identified with that research tag and would bring copies of the highlighted material into my new note. Here, i could re-arrange them to build my article outline.
I would use the tags as follows: If i highlight several snippets and assign them the tag "projectX:intro", it would build a collection of related research items. If, for the same article I am writing, I have another section on "how-to", I would highlight all relevant sections of my research that deal with how to do something with "projectX:how-to"....and so on
By referencing research tag "projectX", Evernaote would automatically get all the research tagged snippets for me into my new note listed alphabetically.
That would be awesome for me and doesn't seem to exist in any note taking apps out there
What do you think?
