Coming from Logseq, Outlines and Linked Mentions

Sounds great, thanks a lot for having a look at Logseq userbase, too :slight_smile: .

Is it - or would it be - possible to make “Linked Mentions” pager footer somewhat customizable? Like adding a custom page-context query in that footer for each page? If I remember correctly that was a frequent request in Logseq forums, but never had been implemented - as well as other features after shift to db version development.

The main missing feature currently holding me back from transition from Logseq to SB are block references (block-to-block links) - or in more general terms fine-grained linking to page sections and components, not only pages as a whole. I heavily made use of block links all the time in Logseq. Querying backlinks of object types like linked page mentions is great for a top-down overview of note kinds. Block links take a complementary role, in that they enable fine-grained links, like a 1:1 connection between the most atomic note units in the app. In Logseq these are blocks. SB has objects like list item, task, paragraph and others as atomic note units, hence this feature might also be called object linking.

Can we somehow replicate this deep linking in SB with status quo or in future? I’ve read somewhere, you would like to avoid artificial UUID links like ((1234-5678-...)), to adhere to Markdown standard. And I really appreciate this attitude. Maybe we could improve markdown anchor links, like?

  • Rename anchor links as well, if Markdown header is renamed
  • Or even re-introduce markdown anchors to some extent beyond headers only?
  • If so, it would be great to have this feature as first-class citizen: one of block link main advantages is convenient and quick linking. In Logseq you just press ctrl+c on a block, and use ctrl+v in content of another block to create a block link via ((1234-5678-...)). This block link can be aliased and wrapped by markdown link like [renaming that block text](((1234-...))) for better readbility.
