Great job! Been flitting around looking at some other options (Obsidian, Trillium), partly due to quick links, but just keep coming back to Joplin. This is another reason to stay! Great to see so much movement in the plugin development over the last weeks.

A post was split to a new topic: Could not install plugin: No manifest for plugin ID ’undefined’
Great plugin! It would be fantastic to combine this with the backlinks plugin into a single plugin that finally implements Zettelkasten in Joplin!

I'm against combining plugins. In that case somebody should create a new one that has all the features or one has to install several plugins. e.g. I don't care about backlinks at all, especially if such a plugin would automatically change my notes' body.
This plugin does exactly what its name says.

I thought about it, shouldn't be too hard to add.
There are a few design choices to be made though, e.g. should it insert backlinks at the top or at the bottom? If at the top, I think it clutters the note, but on the other hand with backlinks at the end if you need to update your note you need to insert new text just before backlinks, and so on.
It would have been much easier if this was supported by Joplin core.

If you really plan to add this, can you please make the backlinks thing optional via a setting?

I do not have immediate plans to do this but if I ever will -- sure.

Just to understand correctly - you would want to backlinks be suggested after @@ ?
Sorry if this was unclear: I was not suggesting replacing the two plugins with a single one, but either adding backlinks as an option for this plugin, or creating a new plugin that harmoniously combines both functionalities according to the principles of Zettelkasten.
I think adding backlinks at the end of a note makes more sense.
But I agree that native support for backlinks and Zettelkasten features would be fantastic. This would allow users to place less emphasis on notebook hierarchy and treat notes more like nodes in a knowledge base. Having a graph view of the notes would be great too.

I'm also a non-techie. I look forward to getting the JPL file. Thanks.
@IanHinton Installing from a JPL is probably the "techie" way of installing plugins.
For the rest of us, we can install from Tools -> Options -> Plugins and just search for any plugin you want. One click install!

That's really cool!!! 
@CalebJohn Thanks for the input. I had previously tried to use the Tools -> Options -> Plugins option you mention, but in my ignorance I tried pasting the URL of the plugin page, which obviously didn't work. I finally found that it was much more simple to use by just typing in the name of the plugin.

@roman_r_m I'm using Quick Links 0.0.2
The first note that shows up is always the note itself. I saw that there's a commit in your repo that fixes that. Any chance you could publish version 0.0.3?
This is strange, for a moment I thought I forgot to publish but no -- npm shows the latest version to be 0.0.4: joplin-plugin-inline-tags - npm
I'll just publish it again as 1.0.0. I think it's good enough for that.
UPD
Ignore this, I was looking at the other plugin -- inline tags.
Published version 1.0.0 just now.

Thanks, this is great! The only problems I have are that:
- many of my notes have spaces in the title and hitting space now quits the selector,
- many notes have similar names
so I hit the problem that I start typing, and 10 notes is not enough to reach my note without a space and the extra specificity of the following word.
As an example, perhaps I want to find the note "Monthly planning July 2020", I get:
Now of course I can choose a search term that is more specific, e.g. July, but at some point will hit this issue.
I would be happy if there were a way to keep typing even with a space, but I imagine this is tricky. I would also be happy if I could expand the number of search results (e.g. when I hit the bottom, or by hitting tab, or whatever).
Thanks again!

This should be easy with a setting so that people can specify the number of notes returned. I could create a PR for that, if roman_r_m would accept such a change. Although I'm a bit busy so I can't code it right away.
This should be fairly simple to do, I'll try later today if I can find time.
And this too.
I actually have an idea of how this can be improved by leveraging Joplin's search mechanism. Instead of a simple popup, show a text box where you can enter a search query, get a list of results and pick from it.
But this is a bigger change and not something that can be done in a day or two.
