@bojangles - this resonates and it only took 178 responses for me to get here 
In today’s parlance considering our upcoming database future, each link:
- is an object (just like a note)
- has properties (hopefully, just like a note)
- has inheritance (a parent note and its properties)
- has offspring (anywhere it is instantiated)
- is unique at each instantiation - so it has it’s own context ( @bojangles template )
- has time properties - created, modified (will they be static or dynamic?)
- has place properties - where created - a note in either a local vault or a published place
- has “who and how” properties - me or code creating or modifying it and by what manner and UI gesture
- can be reusable - a templated link, if you will
We have at least four players (objects) in the linking game: note, link, offspring, and place. Each has it’s own set of properties.
The game starts with creating a link in a local vault (instantiation). What would that UI gesture look like?
