Wiki-Links

Create explicit connections between notes with [[double brackets]].

Type [[ anywhere in a note. A dropdown appears with your existing notes. Select one, or keep typing to filter the list.

The result is a clickable link in your text. Click it to jump to the linked note.

When you link Note A to Note B, two things happen:

  1. Note A shows a clickable reference to Note B inline
  2. Note B shows Note A in its Backlinks panel with an arrow icon, meaning “this note links to you”

This is bidirectional. You create the link in one place, and both notes know about the connection.

Valorune has two kinds of connections:

  • Manual links (arrow icon): wiki-links you created explicitly. These are intentional. You chose to connect these notes.
  • Discovered links (sparkle icon): connections the AI found based on meaning. These are suggestions. You didn’t create them.

Both appear in the Backlinks panel, distinguished by their icon. Manual links always take priority.

Use wiki-links when you know two notes are related and want to make that connection explicit. If you’re writing about a project and mention a person, link to their note. If you’re referencing a concept you’ve written about before, link to it.

You don’t need to link everything. Discovered links handle the connections you’d otherwise miss or forget. Wiki-links are for the ones you’re sure about.

Tips

  • Wiki-links use the note title as the link text. Rename a note and existing links update automatically.
  • Linking to a note that doesn’t exist yet will be supported soon.
  • The Backlinks panel groups manual and discovered links separately, so you can always tell which connections you made and which the AI found.

The in-app Backlinks tour walks through this interactively when you first open the Backlinks panel.
