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. Alan Davis
