Add links to anchor or node in other cherrytree file

[cas-ady]

Add link for a cherrytree file and add the node or anchor in the link.

link my_file.ctx -anchor anchor_name -> open the file my_file.ctx and go directly to the anchor named "anchor_name" link my_file.cth -node node_name -> open the file my_file.ctx and go directly to the node "node_name"

As an experimenter I often browse these feature requests. And often find "workarounds" to apply to my own workflow. But this feature request sparked some new ideas. For which I thank you. In my case there is a need to interconnect many CT documents on my desktop. Mostly *.ctd extension. The protocol you suggest does not meet my requirements. But rather than write it up here (where it might be lost) I intend to create a workflow. Indeed it might be configured into a CherryTree container as a routing node. Broadly there is a need to build a "satellite view" of CT objects which are realised as a "vector database". There can be multiple connections to multiple CherryTree documents. I don't see any forum which expands beyond "issues" and feature requests" into "CherryTree ideas box".

In your case I would exploit the CherryTree command line features and create a link which opens remote CT via command line. For a deeper understansing of my own thinking, install Recoll, index your entire desktop, then apply queries such as "ext:ctd" (list all files with extension .ctd). My workflow centres on using Recoll as the indexer of every CT document in my desktop. Your connection can then be via recoll command line. Such as recollq ext:ctd. You will then see a list of every .ctd document in CT command console. But extracting that Recoll raw index data to engineer a vector database is the next step I will develop further. An orchard of CherryTrees.
