Auto linking of notes

[rolandjohann]

I'm searching for an app to act as my daily journal/wiki and found this one.
Because of electron basis, OSS and therefore extensibility I would like to implement automatic linking of note content to other notes based on the title.

Ideally the linking should be done when viewing a note and therefore don't modify the source of the note. There are a few corner cases that should be considered:

• links must be omitted (a PoC resolved that links inside links leads to crashing of the app)
• code, diagram and latex block must be omitted
• maybe explicit syntax to define a block of content that should not be auto linked (improvement)

Started to implement this feature/build a PoC - any comments are welcome.

@rolandjohann How is your implementation coming along? If you are ready to submit a PR, then please do 😄

I also wanted to double check exactly what you had in mind for this new feature. Would it be something like this:

• I have one main note in which I want to link to subsequent notes.
• I types something that returns a list of notes, like [notes:'/Day.*/']. For exaple regex on the note title.
• When I make a new note titled 'Day 27 July 2019' it should automatically get added to the other main note.

Is that the behavior you would like to see?

Closing this issue for now.
