What's a good way to organize/create a dictionary to store terms that are specific to a subject?

Do note that if/when you define multiple terms in any given note the term and the definition is are not connected. If you have a typo in either field name, you’ll get misaligned terms and definitions.

This is due to all of these belonging to the page scope. A much safer option would be to have these term definitions within a list or task scope.

My preferred variant would be to use tasks since you then can use dataview queries to collate the definitions into lists, which automatically provides a link back to the definition (since tasks do that by default). See this thread for more information on this topic.

So I would use something like:

- [k] (term:: DNA) - (definition:: Deoxyribonucleic Acid)

Which renders as the following when using the dark Minimal theme:

And to list all definitions, I’d use a query like:

```dataview
TASK
WHERE status = "k"
```
