Linked entities let you connect related items in your workspace. Link a note to the protocol it follows, connect observations to the collection they belong to, or cross-reference two notes that cover the same sample.
  1. Open a note, protocol, or collection.
  2. Click the link button (chain icon) in the toolbar area, next to tags.
  3. The command palette opens — search for the entity you want to link to.
  4. Select it. The link is created in both directions.

​
What can be linked

Any entity type can be linked to any other:
  • Note to note
  • Note to protocol
  • Note to collection
  • Protocol to collection
  • Any combination
Links are bidirectional — if Note A is linked to Protocol B, Protocol B also shows its link to Note A.

​
Viewing linked entities

Linked entities appear as chips below the editor. Each chip shows:
  • The entity type icon
  • The entity title
  • A menu with options to open the linked entity or unlink it
Click a chip to navigate directly to that entity.

​
Unlinking

Hover over a linked entity chip, click the menu icon, and select Unlink. This removes the connection in both directions. Neither entity is deleted — only the link between them.
  • Use collections when you want to group many notes under one heading (e.g., “February field samples”).
  • Use links when you want to connect two specific items that are related but don’t necessarily belong in the same group (e.g., a note referencing a protocol, or two observations about the same anomaly).
Links and collections work together — a note can be in a collection and also linked to a protocol.
