My brain is stuck on what seems like a straightforward task in Tinderbox.
I have a Tinderbox document with a note for each day, in yyyy-mm-dd format.
The same document has notes for ideas, meeting notes, tasks, and projects.
Each morning I hoist the daily note to its own tab, activate Map view, and begin to create linked notes with daily meetings, ideas, plans, and projects for that day.
When I need to link in this map to an existing note, I’m stumped. All I seem to do is create new notes.
Can I drag from the yyyy-mm-dd note’s link to create a link to an existing note? Do I need to create aliases before I enter my daily brainstorming, and then use those aliases in my map?
so the tip above works, if only we can select the parent note whilst still in the child map view.
This let to an interesting discovery. If I click on any item in the view’s breadcrumb trail except the last, the map makes the clicked item the parent. But, if I click the last item, the current map’s parent, it gets selected without altering the map’s context.
Now, with the parent selected in the right pane you can use the method @PaulWalters gives above to link (as you can’t drag drop from the text page to a map item).
I’m not sure if the above (selecting the maps parent note) is deliberate, but it is useful here.
