I see that notes can be linked via objects, but not via text links directly to other notes. I’ve found this feature invaluable in applications like Obsidian. Am I missing something?
This may be a feature request.

Hey @jim1, you can link Objects in two main ways:
Each of these options creates a link between the Objects that you can click to navigate to the linked Object AND a link between the Objects is created in the Graph.
A good thing to know that all the ways to link an object as sambouwer describes is a one way link. They are not bi-directional links like in Obsidian, so the page you are linking too doesn’t have an indication of that linked page.
But bi-directional links are or have been on the roadmap for Anytype.
With this button, you should be able to see, which object links to your current object.

Wauw I totally forgot about that button! Thanks! You learn something new everyday. ![]()
But the user can’t do anything with that except view it, right?
This FR suggests having a built-in relation for all objects, containing all other objects that link to it.
That’s right. It’s the only way to see that right now.
