Fairly standard in this kind of note and doc and a long-time feature of Google Docs. Has become invaluable for those used to using it.

This would be cool for sure, something I can see us adding. Wasn't aware Google Docs had this, just had a look and can see it in there. Thanks for the heads up Ian, will look into this but can't make any promises on timelines yet.

Google Docs was early in providing this, a decade or more ago. Also Bear. It is foundational feature of all the PKM notes out there (Obsidian, Notion, Capacities et al). So there will be an expectation among many, if not most, users that Lex will work in a similar way

Makes a lot of sense Ian, we recently added the quick doc switcher in the top left or via cmd+p on mac / ctrl+p on windows) but being able to link to other docs is something I’d like to see us add once we’re through with some of the bigger pieces we have in the works. Thanks for flagging this.

Fred Rivett agreed that [[ would be great (wasn't aware that Google Docs had it, can't get it to work)

Justin L There's another feature I've got earmarked for "[[" but the @ usage Google Docs has could make sense here.
