That breadcrumbs technique seems very interesting, @scholarInTraining. I’m curious what the workflow is and why certain notes you’d prefer not linking but still having this navigation. I assume it is pretty straightforward, but something tells me you have quite an elaborate set of experimental systems going on.
Also, I agree that the “backmatter” approach can be great for all types of metadata, whether it be fields storing links, text, or even tags; although I am not using it at the moment. I’m sure you are both well aware, but I figured I’d add that in certain cases where you are embedding the entire note with the backmatter elsewhere and would prefer excluding that bottom heading full of metadata from showing, it can be helpful to comment it out.
%%
## Backmatter
Key1:: #value1
Key2:: [[value2]]
Key3:: value3
%%
Anyways, thanks for the inspiration.
