Evercurious 3 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 A fundamental methodology for refining one's search results within a taxonomy-based database (or Content Management System such as Evernote) is to inductively link a particular term or tag to its other occurrences within that realm. This process allows the user to gain a better sense of context for the term/tag. How hard would it be to render tags as linked hypertext? Link to comment

I'm not clear about "other occurences with that realm" Are you suggesting the database include a url field for tags? Currently the fields stored are Id, Name, Parent You can create a master note for the tag. It can contain whatever additional information you need; hyperlinks ... Link to comment

Sorry, a little too jargony for me here. Tags implicitly link link notes together by their presence (or absence). Since tags refer to individual notes, not locations inside a note, they'd make poor candidates, they'd make poor candidates for a linked hypertext system. In fact, Evernote has no such facilities like note anchors currently. If you used tags as a basis for hypertext linking, how would that work? Embed the tag in the note text, click on it -- what happens? Does it perform a filtering on that tag? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,666 Posted February 1, 2019 Level 5* Share Posted February 1, 2019 In any version of the app its possible to search on tags (tag:keyword) to see a listing of all notes with that tag, and the desktops have Views that include a tag column so notes can be sorted into tag order (which admittedly gets complicated for multiply-tagged notes, but it can be done.) Perhaps if you could outline your intentions for this feature we could comment more helpfully? Link to comment
