A general format for specifying links to a part of note (multiple paragraphs, ranges) / Embedding Multiple Consecutive Headings Or Blocks

Use case or problem

Using link to block functionality, I had to face the following limitations:

  • I cannot create a single link spanning multiple (non-nested) blocks
  • I can’t create a link to only a specific part of a block
  • Bullet lists (non-nested) interrupt blocks, and if a block (visually) includes bullet lists, then if you try to link to that block, and all bullet lists (visually) related to it, the link will not include those bullet lists, only the block that comes before them.
  • Comments (non-nested) also interrupt blocks

(this is probably not a complete list of the limitations of link to block functionality - I’ve only mentioned what I’ve encountered personally)

Proposed solution

As a solution, I see adding functionality to create links to selected text, similar to the identical feature in PDF Reader.
