(Feature request) Context-Menu Option: "Add backlink to" #4691

Open diyoyo opened 6 months ago

diyoyo commented 6 months ago

Describe feature

Hi, I'd like to be able to create a note somewhere (like, anywhere in the tree), then right-click on it in the left-panel tree, and have the option to backlink it to another existing note, in addition to the rest (Clone, Copy, Cut, etc.)

Additional Information

I know there are many workaround possible with probably the same amount of clicks and operations, but I felt like in my daily workflow, this is the way I would use it.

Probably low priority, but let's see what other users think.

You can right click and copy in the note tree, then ctrl + v in the note content.

Linking in Trilium means creating a HTML link with a label within a text (for the most part), but I think what you're suggesting "just click to backlink" is conceptually something different. I guess this could be technically done with relations, but it's just not really standard pattern in Trilium.
