Linking brains
Would be really cool to have a link thought to another brain.
Links to thoughts in Brains via a URL format are included in Version 6, enabling this, plus the ability to link to thoughts from notes and on Windows also from other programs.

I think this is just about the most vital feature that should be added to PB to allow it to interact not only via itself but with other applications. I mean to link from one thought in one brain to one thought in another, or from an external application to a specific thought in a specific brain.

Is a URI format functionality being worked on for new versions in v.5?

I think of links to thoughts as being like a protocol (e.g. thought://) that could be deployed generally within a system.

something close enough to mention it here: searching across different brains seems to be a very related issue, as it adresses the basic question how to relate different brains in use.
– I set it up as distinct proposal, but think it should also be raised in here:

If you could create links across the internet to other peoples brains, that would be very cool. You could create a public areas for people to explore. A lot of people have wondered how I survive inside my brain. They would get to find out :-)

This would be somewhat like linking tables from different databases together. All linked databases must then be accessible, without having one to be open and the other closed as it is now.

I think this is the same as this: http://thebrain.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/77506

I posted a comment but cannot tell if it was accepted or not?
Detailed comment about the operation of the link. Brain Links would go off edge at a "Glow Point" User can move the edge point Right Click Gives Other Brain and Thought Details , Left Click switches to Thought in the other Brain -

Great idea!

This link would work as a gateway to another brain, so that one easily can move from one brain to another, and at the same time keep them separated. This is especially important for separating test, project, private, work brain and more.

Just to extend on this: in my view it would be useful to extend the merge function so that it really merges thoughts with the same name in the different brains. e.g. I often have meetings which treat the same subject but in order not to clutter the existing brain, I start a new one. When I'm finished with the meeting I would like to merge into the bigger brain and have the same thoughts merged.
