GM a question for users of obsidian and other knowledge graph type note repos: can you describe your personal approach to [when], [where in a note], and [what] you choose to internally hyperlink? all types and levels of detail of responses welcome
Just a gm from me. Not using tools you mention, so can't help you there. But the GM is with much love.
low level hyperlinker. Feel it’s a fad. Like the IA writer approach.
ga Vaughn! Use Roam, internal hyperlinks are mainly nouns, or high level topic categories I like to click on to see all instances of that topic I’m tracking in my current writings. I write strictly on the daily pages.
very heavily - proper nouns, e.g names, places, titles, etc - external concepts, topics, fields - evergreen memetic sentences if the reference appears multiple times in one note, I will usually link at least its first appearance to establish the relationship but not always every single mention
Logseq user here, I link to amorphous collections that reflect a topic, but honestly just searching is good enough, and if I really want to wire something into the graph, I can do it explicitly and after that fact
Currently using Reflect notes, which is like a simpler version of Obsidian with super clean calendar/Twitter/Readwise/Boomarks etc. integrations. I hyperlink (1) all proper nouns and (2) specific topics I want to view all of my backlinked writings about in one place
