Wikilinks and linking notes

Wikilinks connect notes inside a Space with [[double brackets]]. Glyph resolves them through the index and the files on disk.

Type a link to another note:

[[Project Plan]]

Glyph looks up a note that matches that title or path. Click the link in Rich or Preview to open the target.

Alias

Show different text than the target name:

[[Project Plan|the plan]]

The link still opens Project Plan. Readers see “the plan”.

Heading and block targets

Jump to a heading in a note:

[[Project Plan#Goals]]

Jump to a block id when the note has one:

[[Project Plan#^block-id]]

Heading and block targets need the destination note to contain that heading or block marker.

Embeds

Embed another note (or a supported file) inline:

![[Project Plan]]

Embeds pull content into the current note in Rich and Preview views. The source stays its own file on disk. Edit the source note to change what embeds show.

Autocomplete

Type [[ in the editor. Glyph offers matching notes as you type. Pick one to insert a resolved link. Autocomplete reduces typos and unresolved targets.

Keep typing to filter the list. Choose the note you mean, then continue writing.

A link to a note that does not exist yet can show as unresolved. Click it and Glyph can create the note (open-or-create) so you can fill it in. That turns a placeholder [[Idea]] into a real file when you follow the link.

If Glyph cannot resolve a target, you see an error about the wikilink. Check the spelling, path, or create the note first.

Use Insert or Edit Link from the command palette or editor commands to add or change a link without typing the brackets by hand. Select text first if you want that text to become the link label.

Open Toggle Note Info Sidebar (Cmd+Shift+I) and check Backlinks. Notes that point at the current note appear there. Click a backlink to open the source.

Backlinks help you see who references a note before you rename or archive it.

When you rename or move a note inside Glyph, Glyph may rewrite wikilinks (and related Markdown links) in other notes so they keep working. Prefer rename and move inside Glyph when notes are linked.

Renames done only in Finder may leave stale links until you fix them or rewrite by hand.

Local Connections

Use Open Local Connections (Cmd+Shift+G) to see a graph of links around the current note. It is a visual way to follow the same relationships wikilinks create.

For the whole Space, open Connections in the sidebar.

Tips

  • Prefer [[Title]] for notes in the same Space; use Markdown links for external URLs.
  • Keep titles stable when many notes link to them, or rename inside Glyph so links can update.
  • Shortcuts for info and Local Connections are remappable in Settings → Shortcuts.
  • See also Wiki links and extract for ribbon and extract flows that create links while you write.
