Links are like References, but they can have any text – they don’t always show the same text as the bullet they link to. You can link either to a bullet in your knowledge base or to a website. Links, unlike References, are underlined when looking at your notes.
Creating links
Type or find the section of text you wish the link to be attached to, then select it and click the Link button or press Ctrl+Alt+K (Cmd+Opt+K on a Mac).
For a link to a web page, paste the URL and select the format in which you want to add this link:
Formatted Link: The link is automatically attached to a title of the website, making it clickable, but the URL itself is hidden. If you want your writing to look polished and easy to read, formatted links are usually preferred.
Text Link: The actual URL (web address) appears directly in the text.
For a link to a bullet in your Knowledge Base, start typing to search your Knowledge Base.
Clicking on the link will navigate to the website or bullet.
If your link is to a bullet, it will create a backlink and affect flashcard gathering, the same way as it would if you had created a Reference to that bullet.
Working with links
If you left-click on a link, the target website or bullet opens immediately. If you right-click, you’ll see several other options:
Edit link: lets you update the link title or change the URL that opens when you click the link.
Open Externally: opens the link in a new browser tab, just like a left-click
Copy link: copies the link to your clipboard.
Turn into Inline/Formatted Link: lets you switch between different link display styles in your document.
See the “Creating links” section above for more details about text and formatted links.
Replace With Reference: this option appears only if you right-click a link attached to a bullet in your knowledge base. Clicking it will change this link into a Reference, turning the text of the link into an alias of the target bullet or website.
Deeplinks
A deeplink is a URL that points directly to a specific bullet in your Knowledge Base. You can use deeplinks to quickly navigate to a particular bullet from outside RemNote - for example, from a bookmark in your browser, a link in another app, or a note you've shared with someone.
Note: Deeplinks require the RemNote desktop app. Clicking a deeplink will open the bullet directly in the desktop app.
Getting a Deeplink
To get the deeplink for any bullet, start typing /deeplink command and select Copy Deeplink. You can then paste this URL wherever you need it. You can also assign a custom keyboard shortcut to this action for even faster access.
Workflow Example
Let's say you're a student who uses the Notes app to plan your day. You've got a list of things to do - attend lectures, finish assignments, review notes.
Instead of switching to RemNote and searching for the right document each time, you can paste deeplinks to your lecture notes right into your daily plan. When it's time to review, just click the link and the RemNote desktop app opens the exact note instantly.
Will my deeplink break if I rename or move a bullet?
No. Deeplinks are bound to the bullet's unique ID, not its name or location. You can freely rename a bullet, edit its text, or move it anywhere in your Knowledge Base - your deeplink will keep working.
