#linking #search #relevance #wiki-links #note-automation

The EasyLink plugin streamlines the process of linking related notes by providing instant, ranked suggestions when you select text and trigger its command. Instead of searching manually, you get a pop up with similar content based on contextual keyword matching and relevance scoring. You can link directly to headings or blocks, not just files, and insert formatted wiki-links right where you need them. Results are customisable - you can exclude certain folders, set a minimum similarity score, and control how many results you see.
