Retaining the benefits of Luhmann's numbering system without damaging key Obsidian functionality?

Yeah, I think it would be wonderful if in the future we had some kind of a semantic or logical link structure.

In the way that you can process and monitor signal flow through a modular audio system, or connect things via specific datatypes in programming functions, or in node-based media apps. You can do powerful things when you can control and shape the structure of the connections and flow.

You could conceivably have better filtering, analysis and navigation if links had purpose and meaning baked in, without requiring a specific naming convention in the filenames or text of the link.

@lexane mentioned “logical links” here: The state of backlinks

And in this thread, there is discussion of semantic links, and the way Tinderbox works. Making mindmaps from notes a graph with a defined semantic relation

In Tinderbox, (I’ve briefly tried it, but gave up due to complexity) the shape, placement of the network is part of the structure, more like a purposeful mind map.
