A more powerful editor for following relations (spatial representation in the editor) #146

Closed bryanph closed 6 years ago

Instead of simply following the links, the editor should assist in creating the relations. Inspired by the way federated wiki follows links, see http://fed.wiki.org/view/welcome-visitors/view/how-to-wiki/view/add-pages

This would make quickly adding structure to information provided by a source a lot easier and user-friendly.

Some options:

approach 1

When navigating from the graph to the editor, start an "editing session". Then whenever you open a link from the document, it should show the new text spatially in a network. Just like in the graph, but each node represented as full content instead of just a colored circle.

Then when wishing to create new links, the user can drag within the space to create either "side-links" or "hierarchical links"
