Use wiki links

Connect notes with double brackets, in the body or in frontmatter.

In the body

Type [[ and pick the note. The link is written as [[Folder/Note]].

To link text you have already written, select it and press ⌘K / Ctrl+K.

In frontmatter

A frontmatter value can be a link, and it counts as one:

---
type: call-debrief
participants:
  - "[[People/Anna]]"
  - "[[People/Ben]]"
project: "[[Projects/Redesign]]"
---

Anna's note will list this debrief in its backlinks, and the graph will draw the edge. Quote the value — YAML treats a bare [[…]] as a nested list.

Nothing to maintain. Every note shows what points at it, derived from the links themselves.

Renaming

Renaming a note updates the links that point at it. Links whose target does not exist are reported rather than quietly rendered as text.
