Connecting Your Notes

Relinkia has three ways to create connections. Each one tells the system something slightly different about how your ideas relate.

Wikilinks

Type [[Note Title]] anywhere in the editor to create a direct link to another note. If the note exists, it becomes a clickable connection. If it doesn't exist yet, Relinkia creates a placeholder — a signal that you intend to write that note.

Wikilinks are intentional. You choose to connect two notes because you see a relationship worth preserving. That intention is meaningful data.

Example

Writing about decision fatigue? Add [[Cognitive load]]to pull in everything you've already captured on that theme.

Concept tags

Concepts are recurring ideas that appear across your notes — not file tags, but nodes in your graph. You can add them manually, or let Relinkia suggest them based on what you write.

When a concept appears in multiple notes, those notes become connected through it — even if you never wrote a direct wikilink between them. This is how the graph discovers structure you didn't plan.

Manual

Open the note properties panel and add a concept. Full control — you decide what matters.

AI-suggested

Relinkia reads your note and proposes concepts. You validate or reject each one. Rejecting is useful — it teaches the system your vocabulary.

Automatic backlinks

Every time you link to a note, that note automatically records the reverse connection. Open any note and you'll see which other notes reference it — without doing anything.

Backlinks turn individual notes into crossroads. A note that receives many backlinks is a strong node — a concept that keeps pulling other ideas toward it. That's worth paying attention to.

You don't have to maintain backlinks. They update automatically as you write. The map of who-points-to-what is always current.

Why connections matter

A connection isn't a filing decision — it's a statement about how ideas relate. The more you connect, the more the graph reflects how you actually think, not just what you've stored.

Relinkia uses these connections to surface suggestions you didn't ask for: a note from three months ago that speaks directly to what you're writing today, a concept that keeps appearing across unrelated projects. Connections are the raw material the AI works with — the denser the graph, the more it can find.

Start with one link per note. As you write, ask: what else have I thought about that relates to this? One honest connection is worth more than ten mechanical tags.
