Local graph-like Canvas mode to show connected notes, add to Canvas

[I-d-as]

Use case or problem

To quickly build a canvas network based on existing links.

Proposed solution

It would be cool to be able to select a note element in the canvas and toggle on a Local Graph-like mode. This would temporarily show all immediate connections and possibly have a depth slider, etc. While in this mode, you could permanently add the displayed local links to the canvas by perhaps Control/Command clicking the dotted/grayed connecting line. Once the mode is toggled off, the local connections disappear except those that have been initialized.

Add/Overlay/Superimpose wikilink connections in Canvas (Add a toggle to)

Right now, the cavasses created do not use/show wikilinks among notes. This is intentional as a Canvas (notes and connections in it) is meant to represent an information flow/dependency network that is specific to that Canvas and is separate from the wikilink connections among notes. Nevertheless, It would be nice to have a toggle to show the wikilinks connections among notes in the canvas in a different color.

Thanks!

I love it! Would further allow us to quickly overview our related notes, would go well in pair with my plugin which automatically connect notes based on the semantic .

Agreed this would be a brilliant feature for graph and canvas to feel more interoperable

Drag local graph into canvas

Use case or problem Creating mindmaps from existing spatial connections Proposed solution Being able to drag a node from a graph with all single-connecting nodes directly into canvas. Expected behaviour: to drag that node as a card, with the linked cards linking to it in the appropriate direction. Additionally, if there is a note already in a canvas which links to other notes, pressing a hotkey could generate those as adjacent cards on the canvas, with link arrows drawn. [image] Related…

I would love to see something like this…

This would be another way of being able to drag tagged or linked items into a Canvas.

Anything that adds functionality to canvas, more in line with making it work like “The Literary Machine” would be wonderful.
