Stupid question re 1WRITER

How do you get links to be clickable on the above? I format mine as follows in MD:

[name of note to be linked to][[unique id]]

Linking works like in The Archive, link as search. Anything surrounded by [[]] will be a clickable link through the search bar. You will be presented with a list of all the notes that match the search. I use [[UID]].

Thanks, Will. Sorry to be dense: I’m not sure what you mean by ‘through the search bar’. What I was hoping for was to be able to click a link in the main body of the note. Is that not doable?

Some more context. The issue appears to be the use of square brackets around the name of the link. If I remove this, the subsequent link in double square brackets become clickable. Dammit. That’s a lot of work to go through and correct every link…

If the filename of your note is

12345678.txt

try:

[[12345678]]

or

[[12345678|This note is about cats]]

If I click on [[Reading As Counter-cultural Practice 202304131751]], I'm taken to that note. I'm on an iPad.

Sometimes this doesn't work for me the first time I try it. flacky software.

What I meant by the search bar is the search bar under the hamburger button in the top left of the note window.

Thank you, Will.
