I used to be an avid user of WikiDPad, and I loved the way it automatically (or manually, using [ ]) created links and files to these links (CamelCase) for me. The way it provided a visual tree of the wiki was also pretty cool. This was awesome for reference kind of data, to build your own knowledge base. I've been trying to test different approaches with org, but none of them work as smoothly as it worked for me when using wikidpad. I divide reference data in two main categories: Dynamic and Static. Static are the notes and stuff that youl want to keep somewhere and that you'll eventually refer to later. Dynamic are the kind of that you'll be editing often, but does not fit in any other category GTD-wise. It is reference, you want to keep it somewhere, not take action on it per se (other than editing it), but you want to expand and modify it often. How difficult would it be to implement a small system that would index the files of directory, get the names (camel-case) and automatically link to these names if written on an org buffer? My elisp skills are very weak as of now. I know some of you might list a number of points against implementing this, but I really loved the way Wikdpad created links on the fly.

I don't think, however, that this is all that far from what org already provides with links: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Handling-links.html <http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Handling-links.html>I just tried this out and while admittedly it's not as easy as writing CamelCase, it's pretty straightforward: - Write along and decide to link somewhere - C-u C-c C-l - Minibuffer starts with a relative location to your current working directory, e.g. ~/org/ for me - Pressing tab brings up a list of possible files in this directory - Editing the location to point to a different dir would allow for linking elsewhere - Enter when file name is found (or suggest a brand new .org file that doesn't exist) - Enter the description Once the link is created: - With cursor on it, do C-c C-o to open the existing file or create a blank one if it didn't exist - C-x C-o to bounce back and forth between buffers or C-c & to close opened link and just return to original file I'm sure others will chime in with ways to perhaps alter this existing functionality for automated detection, but the system as-is is also pretty nice. Oh, you can link to specific headlines as well. - Go to the headline you want and do C-c l - Go back where you want the link and do C-c C-l + up/down arrows to pull up the stored link - Enter the description (or press enter to accept the headline title) That simple.

Maybe have a look at org-toc.el in contrib/. M-x org-toc-show (and `?' for a quick help). I must say it's pretty buggy, though. Also, `C-x 4 c' might be helpful to create an indirect buffer: then you can edit in the original buffer and use the indirect one to navigate. > file linking can be fairly easily done in org, However, wikidpad is more of a > database approach (possible to use sqlite as backend), whereas emacs org is a > single file based mode: my guess is that implementing wikidpad feature in emacs > would would end as a different application, other than what emacs is intended - > a mighty text editor Org can handle several files and helps you create links between all of them.
