Link another MindMap #96

Open idoo opened 4 years ago

Thank you for the nice tool!

What do you think about the ability to link another mind map as a node?

Something similar like in https://www.thebrain.com/

I guess it will allow structuring all kind of pieces of knowledge

Linking to other mindmaps (or anything, really) is a feature I use a lot in my FreePlane/FreeMind mindmaps, which is also a prerequisite for using mindmaps as a tool in Luhmann's Zettelkasten note taking strategy, which sort of utilizes hypertext connections between notecards containing one thought or idea.

It doesn't seem straightforward to me how this would be realized in an "offline" setup like my-mind, where a repository of data isn't really available to the application, just the file you're currently working on, at least when you don't have a dropbox/gdrive connection.

I currently do this all the time with Freeplane/Freemind, too

But I think you can add a link already to the query string with ?url=

These I suspect are absolute links, and FP/FM tend to use relative links which increase portability a bit

Im new to my-mind (first week) so I'll investigate more if this is possible
