    I imagine the creators would consider this feature to be redundant for hyperlinking, and writing papers in TheBrain not the primary goal. But Wikipedia is built on the same card concept, and I agree breakout references are sometimes needed.

    Here's MediaWiki implementation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Footnotes

    ## This markup:
    This is page content.<ref>''LibreOffice For Starters'', First Edition, Flexible Minds, Manchester, 2002, p. 18</ref>
    ...
    {{reflist}}

    ## Then creates this result:
    This is page content.⁽¹⁾

    As TheBrain webapp is currently hosted in Azure, it does look like the possability of a deployed Azure application would be trivial (ie, in a secure virtual network, or edge server even).

    Their combination of .Net, Blazor service, and Venus editor likely means it could be deployed as a running service on a machine. There is a lot of IP that it would contain, and decomplication is potentially a risk too, or being an alternative to their online services.

    Agreed.

    More examples of useful automatic links;
    - References to previous married and changed names;
    - context specific nicknames for people
    - common abbreviations for formal product names (like M365 <> Microsoft 365 Business Premium)
    - common names for botanical and scientific classification
    - spelling varients - like programming 'color' vs local 'colour'

    Obviously, this page has a long list of compelling reasons and reasons when not to - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect

    Just as a gentle note, the github checkbox syntax seems to be "- [x]" rather than just "[x]", and the first isn't parsed well by TheBrain. This also is undocumented on the markdown-info page.

    When I select multiple lines, I get code snippits per line rather than one triple backslash code block.
