Hello, I would like to share a new plugin with you called "Bidirectional Links." This plugin is all about making it easier to create cross-referencing links between notes. Just need to type "|||" anywhere within your note and select the desired note from the dropdown menu. This will insert a link …

[image] benlau: @roman_r_m , would you be interested in adding bidirectional links support to Quick Links? I can help in any way I can. But why? Your plugin already does it. I don't mind you forking it and building a new plugin rather than submitting a PR. In fact, I thought (prompted by a c…

But why? Your plugin already does it. I don't mind you forking it and building a new plugin rather than submitting a PR. Because user don't need to install two plugins. And I don't plan to add any more new features except to change the trigger shortcut ("|||") In fact, I thought (prompted by a …

Very cool! Thank you for creating this!

Thank you for creating this useful plugin @benlau ! I was wondering if it could be possible to add the option to change the position at which the link is inserted in the target note? I usually have links at the top of notes and inserting the link at the cursor position might not fit cases with long…

I think there is a way to run it in WYSIWYG. For example, the "Convert Text to New Note" plugin works in WYSIWYG mode -> search for joplin-plugin-create-note-from-text in github.

Now I checked and used it on a large scale. This plugin is a big plus to Joplin for me - as expected! Thank you again @benlau and of course also @roman_r_m . BTW: Using "|||" is fine for me.

Just released 0.1.2 to have an option to insert the link at the top of the note.

Dears, just discovered this plugin, looks like it really can be of use. The trigger "|||" is fine for me, since I am working in the MD editor. There's room for improval, though: Bidirectional links should also be bidirectionally deleted. Is that possible? Cheers, JetGum

Hi, Unless I'm mistaken, the plugin no longer works since Joplin Desktop 3.1.1, perhaps this is due to the new default markdown editor? I miss it a lot, I love this plugin that I use very often. Is there a solution? Thanks :slight_smile:

sound goods to me. However, I don't think it will be implemented on this plugins. Probably, I will make it on DDDot as a part of the "Backlinks" panel. (e.g Select a backlink, right click, open a menu to remove bidirectional links)
