[FR] Link another page inline
Description
Support linking another page inline within a paragraph
Enable a few ways to trigger this function:
- [x] Type
@, then start typing the name of the page you want to link. Select the page you'd like to link in the dropdown that appears. - [x] #3541
- [x] Type
+, then start typing the name of the page you want to link. Select the page you'd like to link in the dropdown that appears. - [x] #2256
When the function is triggered and no input yet, the dropdown menu should show at most five latest viewed pages. As the user is typing the page name, the dropdown menu dynamically returns relevant results. If no results, then show "No results" in the menu.
Pages include Document, Board, Grid, Calendar, and row records in a database.
This feature will be expanded to support Mention a block in the future.

Has this feature been implemented yet? Or can this be worked on? @annieappflowy
Hi, @JRS296. You can start by implementing this feature: 'Use the slash command /mention to trigger Mention a page'. Also, please add a comment on #2256 and let me know how you plan to implement it for it.
@LucasXu0 I'll have a look at the code base, and I shall come up with a plan for implementation. Will update the comment thread on #2256 shortly.
Status?
It's still incomplete, far from ready. Someone else can take over if it needs to finished quickly.
Should continue to support other ways described in this issue to link another page inline cc: @LucasXu0
No worries! I should take the blame because we don't make it intuitive enough and discoverable.
is there a way to link internal pages in this app ?
Have you tried

Thx, I discover it only by reading this issue. I was saying to myself: this feature should be somewhere, I was trying and searching, but nothing until I arrived here.

We really want to improve our feature visibility, if I may ask, what were the first places you looked to see if you could find this information? And where do you expect to be able to find it?

First I was trying some markdown-like syntax: [, [[, {, {{ , but nothing. Then I tried slash menu, but also here nothing. After I went to Getting started page, but even here no mention. Then I found this issue.
~~Hi @ annieappflowy You mentioned in your issue "Pages include . . . row records in a database", I've tried all the syntaxes listed but none of them return the database pages, I've tried in both the database itself, database pages and standalone pages to no avail. Is this feature complete or is there another FR for it? Thanks~~
The way I'd like to use this is as the below where I can link from a table of projects or similar to the current task for that project(in another database), though just being able to link in the page for that row would allow me to switch from notion for project management.
Edit: The relations feature has been added in v0.5.3, and allows you to add the relation type to tables which can reference items in other databases. I don't think the ability to follow this reference has been added yet or the ability to make a relation in text (outside of this type) But otherwise great job devs!
Internal links to pages don't open in the mobile version. Any progress on this issue?

I wasn't able to reproduce on version 0.5.6 on iPhone (iOS 17.4.1).
Are you on the latest version on mobile?
