I'm using the attributes view and I don't see how to add columns for outgoing and incoming links?

[bang]

@mwra

Other places you can see both in and outbound links are in the notes Roadmap or its the Links panel (letter is less helpful if there are a lot of links)

Yes, I’ve used these.

System Attribute List

@mwra

Calculated data attributes

These are amazing!

$InboundLinkCount and $OutboundLinkCount

Thank you. However, I would like to see the very links. Like for example if I have a note named “The Lord of the Rings” and add the attribute of the link “is”, which would be an outgoing link for that note, that would be the column heading and I would see all the target notes, for example “film”, “franchise”, “story”, “book” as the values.

@eastgate

For example, suppose you want each note to have a list of $LinkDestinations, representing all the notes linked to this note. You’d do something like this (untested):

$LinkDestinations=[];
eachlink(x){ $ListDestinations += x[destination]; }

I’m right now on the 5th video of this playlist. I assume I’ll be able to test that script in the next 3 videos.

@eastgate

What is the problem domain you are working on?

I’m writing a story. There’s are concepts in my head that I’m trying to articulate through the story. So I’m self-teaching myself philosophy. I’ve started reading “What does it all mean?” by Thomas Nagel. So I’m spending days thinking about the same concepts over and over, and I would like to just see that I’m not going in circles. I’m trying to set definitions of words and so I really need a database and some sort of semantic/concept map. I guess what I’m doing is I’m coming up with an ontology and creating models.

This plugin in tandem with Obisidian Canvas and Bases really gets close to what I’m looking for: GitHub - aarongilly/obsidian-semantic-canvas-plugin. It’s really fascinating (at least to me): Semantic Canvas 1.2 Demo video

This one as well in Trilium Notes: Relation map · TriliumNext/Trilium Wiki · GitHub

And really just the relation and rollups property in Notion: Relations & rollups – Notion Help Center. The problem is they don’t have canvas or mindmapping.

By the way, regarding prototype links, I see a way to use that as a “hard” representation for type-tokens or object-instances. I can expose prototype links as a user attribute, right? But what about if an object is a “token” (I don’t know the Tinderbox equivalent yet) of multiple “types” or prototypes? Like for example this MrBeast video: World’s Smartest Dog - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/shorts/YyNz4--6fro is a token of these hypothetical prototypes, “MrBeast content”, “short-form content”, “saved reference”, “content that made me smile”. I’m not asking for an answer here, by the way, I would just like to hear your thoughts.
