Allen,

thanks for relating to my wish, and for offering alternatives.

However, those alternatives look like being far from the picture I intended to
draw by my feature request: Be able to link notes to mails, or baskets, or to
appointments made in the korganizer or vice versa or intermixed anyway else.

My idea is to enable the user to link up stuff belonging together by nothing
more but dead-simple wiki syntax.

Sure, I could have my own wiki (I have) and, indeed, it would be nice to at
least dump stuff there, if from kOrganizer or whereever else, but that would be
static only. 

Appointments change, get shifted to another day or blown off. Also, if you've
got mails in a common mails database wouldn't it make more sense to be able to
just point to a certain mail [by said wiki-like] functionality rather than by
just copying the mail to the wiki? -- And thus wasting space. Not to mention,
that a mail you'd point to would remain in its natural context, thus other
mails in a thread could be read too. How would one replicate a mail thread in a
text wiki (where the mail needed to get dumped too)? And, would any developer
really want to replicate that functionality for a wiki, although it's ready by
a mail programm?
.

The idea of this feature request was to enable the user to link their stuff
together by using the powers of KDE and, for the user, by no more efforts but
(double-)bracketing some words of e.g. a note to e.g. a
[http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164091 |bug report].
.

I mean, isn't it really time to overcome linear textprocessing? Keep data
separate to their applications? Why not enable the user to link them
inter-application-wise, just as they need it? -- And I mean a user, not a
developer who'd be used to more sophisticated needs to get such linking-up.
.

Would be nice, if you'd re-open this here feature request though.

Best, Wolfram
