Terminal Velocity: A TUI Zettelkasten for the command line

I came across the TUI command-line application Terminal Velocity. It's a pretty good rendition of the similarly named (Mac-only) app, Notional Velocity by Zachary Schneirov.

Terminal Velocity opens a note in whatever your default terminal editor is. For me, that's Vim.

Out of the box, and using Vim, Terminal Velocity lacks wiki-style links. Henri Bourcereau's easy-to-install, wikilink Vim plugin largely solves this glaring deficit by providing GitHub Gollum-style wiki links to any Vim buffer. However, preferring the link behaviour of The Archive, I forked the wikilink plugin, calling it wikilink2, to allow links to contain partial filenames — particularly useful when the links are file identifiers.

I've yet to find a way to display images (NeoVim, perhaps?). I'll report back if and when I find a solution.
