My framework for reciprocal links organized from broadest to narrowest:
-
Doc-level reciprocal links - not something i really need now but if someone has 100+ docs could be helpful in long term
-
Page-level reciprocal links - if I “@page 2” in the canvas of Page 1, I would like to see at the top of Page 2 a place that says “Page 1 links to this page.” See @ABp discussion on this above.
-
Piece-of-text-on-the-canvas-of-a-page-level reciprocal links - It has been a while since I used Roam. I did a full setup with it. I stopped using it because I need tables/databases. However, I think this is the reciprocal linking “level” where Roam was unique.
-
Table-level reciprocal links - Coda obviously shines here via the Lookup feature. This “level” has the nuance of the fact that Notion (I think?) will automatically pull in the reciprocating column. So if your “Recipes” table looks up to your “Ingredients” table then the “Ingredients” table will automatically add a column showing the reciprocating “Recipes.” However, in Coda you can click add column to the “Ingredients” table and Coda will automatically suggest the “Recipes” table to link to. I prefer Coda’s method.
-
Table-Row-level reciprocal links - Possible scenario: You have pages that “@mentionatablerow” then the table containing the aforementioned row would have a column that shows pages that are referring to that row thus creating the reciprocity.
I welcome feedback on both the framework as well as the detailed points about the different reciprocating levels. Thank you Coda Community!
