[[followed by::Next note in note sequence]]

I’ve given an example in another thread:

Using the graph to replicate Luhmann's folgezettel (from zettelkasten) without using his ID system

The latter have issues (such as the problem of decreasing proximity with increasing note archive size, or the lack of multi-parent hierarchies). Ideally, we’d be able to use link types (as discussed previously e.g. here and here) to describe the nature of a link. That way, we could clearly specify that a particular link po…
