you are aware of Plugin: Note Link System - #30 by ylc395?
But be aware of Plugin: Note Link System - #137 by executed "Quick Link" does not work in Joplin v3.1.20 · Issue #43 · ylc395/joplin-plugin-note-link-system · GitHub
I'm not sure if all the other features still work, but this could be a helpful plugin to build a glossary/definition notebook plus standard, reusable text with the help of:
- Plugin: Note Link System - #30 by ylc395 to look up linked words, pharagraphed easily without jumping between notes.
- Plugin: Extract Paragraphs - #9 by djsudduth
Text excerpt to avoid repetition (but no auto-update yet, might come soon) - GitHub - JackGruber/joplin-plugin-note-overview: A note overview is created based on the search and the specified fields.
to filter only glossary notes with a specific tag and extract only the first pharagraph, which contains a very short description of the expression. So you can quickly create a domain-specific glossary and still have everything in one notebook. - a nice featuer to inlcude Plugin: Spoiler cards to reduce note length (but default styling is so la la la), if your explanation of an expression becomes very (too) detailed.
