Category groups. Link connects. A “Trip” note can point to “Packing”, “Hotels” and “Itinerary” without copying the text three times.
Link to another note (internal)
- Open the note.
- On the bottom bar, tap Related notes (the nodes icon).
- On the Links tab, tap + Add link and pick the note.
- It lands under Manual links, with a title and a snippet. Tap it to open. The X only removes the connection.
The Graph tab draws the same connections. A solid line is Related. A dashed line is Between, a link among the other notes. Pinch to zoom and drag a node.
A bold name in the body, as on the welcome note, also opens the other note. That is separate from Add link.
When to link (and when not)
Link when, a month from now, opening A you will need B.
Do not link everything to everything. Too much graph becomes a useless web.
Example: “Project X” → “Decisions”, “Timeline”, “PDF references”. Each child stays short; the parent is the map.
Web links
- Paste the URL in the note body. The app may generate a preview (title, site).
- To see every saved link: menu ⋮ → Library → Link chip.
- Search by title or domain.
- Open, copy or share from the list.
Write one line why the link matters. A bare URL goes cold over time.
Share into the app
Text or links from another app: share text into DicaNote.
Remove a connection
Deleting the relation card does not delete the other note. It only removes the reference.
FAQ
Are internal and web links the same?
No. Internal opens another DicaNote note. Web opens a site in the browser.
Where do I list all web links?
Main menu → Library → Link.
Can I link more than one note?
Yes. One source can have several destination cards.
Site preview came back “404”?
The app stores what the site returned at the time. Update the link or write the title by hand in the note body.
Starting from zero: first note.
