UI for links between notes #1449

Building on #134, it would be great to have a Links Between Notes user interface

I love that linking between notes is possible but it's awkward. One needs to find the note in the doc tree and then copy>>paste it's markdown link. As the note trove grows this becomes a lengthier and lengthier exercise.

This workflow is loads better than nothing or copying full URLs, but the experience could be a lot smoother: I imagine a find-as-you-type search bar of Note Titles opening to [[ or a keyboard shortcut. (Optionally [[/, [[? to not interfere with [[I-want-to-type-without-that-thing-in-my-face]] UX)

Possibly a better implementation path that leverages an existing feature is a modified Go to Anything:

Ctrl-P >> if first 2 chars [[ insert [[ + {found anything target} + ]] instead of Going To
