This add-on is almost exactly what I've been looking for, but it still requires a bit more manual fiddling than what I had in mind (and have been mucking around with in my spare time). In particular, what I'd love to be able to do is set up that particular fields in particular note types are a canonical name for a note, and then use those directly to link, without note ids. So a link wouldn't need to look like [practice|nid157866524], but instead just [practice], which would search for notes whose "Front" field (or whatever fields are defined in the config) is "practice" (case insensitive by default). That same note would have backlinks for everything that contains [practice].

I don't know if that's at all compatible with your vision here, but it seems very closely related, just a little more convenient. In short, turning Anki into a wiki.

Interesting idea! It seems like it would require a lot of modifications to implement, ensuring both performance and compatibility with existing features. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to work on this in the short term. When I have the time, I will consider implementing it.

This idea sounds nice. If there were a field where one could specify keywords that would link the note automatically to any other notes with the present keyword(s) or key term(s)
