Enhancement : link to another item in description #14

It would be great if we could add a link to another item in the description of an item.

Thanks for proposing this!

A prerequisite to this would be having rich text in a POI's description first, and that would be part of this issue.

Then there would be the question of what happens when the linked item is deleted from the map, the POIs linking to the deleted item would probably have to be updated too... or not.

Either way, I'll leave this issue open for now, I think it's an interesting idea, but I need to implement rich text in the POI's description before I can consider this.

To go even further, links to and from other apps could be useful too. A use case that comes to my mind are links to notes of note taking apps. An app like Joplin for example can export an external link to a note, in the form of joplin://x-callback-url/openNote?id=9a602c03ebbe4232b584242d10d51de8. Paste this URI in a web page, and it will open the Joplin app and the referred note. It would be great if a Mapmarker location's description could have a link to a Joplin note. This should work once hyperlinks to web links are implemented in a rich text editor. But vice versa, it would be nice if Mapmarker could export an external link to a location, something like mapmarker://x-callback-url/openItem?id=..., so a link from a web page (or from another app, a note taking app for example) would open the Mapmarker app, directly at the right item/location.
