Subject: ?? While taking note, capture a note with reciprocal links to/from current location
Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:54:03 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <831uq0btb8.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
I am studying some text in an org file, some comments from a colleague
on a research project. I need to do a little google search about a
term (something that happens quite often). It would be convenient to
produce a note elsewhere, perhaps in a different file, or perhaps
under a different top-level heading in the same file, with a note to
the term where the cursor is (let's say I've selected it as the
region). I want to capture some notes, perhaps some quite copious
notes, and when done I would like reciprocal links to bind these
bits. Then I can take some good notes on the terms or the topic in
my colleague's notes, and return, and so forth.
I could do this, and it's not too difficult. However, it would be
*very* helpful to do this with one capture event. Does a facility
exist for this?
Let me say that I think it does, and it relates to the %a element of a
template. However, I would like permanent links, say of the
current region to the note resulting from the capture event, and vise
versa.
I thought of footnotes, but this footnote could end up being a whole
chapter, or a small section, in a report!
Thank you for any suggestions. I apologize in advance, because I'm
sure this is no challenge for the gurus on this list.
