Linked Sets: Craft a Notion like linked Database in Anytype

[Chris1]

Hi Everyone,
while testing out Anytype I found a way to craft a Notion like Linked Database with existing sets, relations & objects. I was surprised that this is possible so I want to share it for anyone who is interested.

Ingredients:

What you need for this… , ,

• 2 different sets
• 2 diferent objects
• 2 different relations
• maybe 1x page with inline sets of both sets to display it on a single page

Preparation:

What you need to do… → , →
Since there isn’t a bidirectional linking possible in sets yet (or not that I know of )we have to link it in both ways separately.

1. Crate (if not existent) 2 different objects. example: Task & Project
2. Create Relation in set 1 to which should be pointed/linked to object of set 2.
3. Name the Relation after the chosen object. example: Task
4. Do it with in the other direction with the other relation & object too…
5. Et voilà
   
   

Hope this helps.

Hey @Chris1, what a nice approach! Thank you! We will definitely work on “bidirectional linking” as you suggested.
