Evercurious 3 Posted February 1 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? Share this post Link to post

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 ... Share this post Link to post

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? Share this post Link to post
gazumped 6,926 Posted February 1 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? Share this post Link to post
