FR: Folgezettel
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Add support for a folgezettel hierarchy.
Describe the solution you'd like Folgezettel (see also: Luhmann's Zettelkasten index) codes are commonly used in zettelkasten workflows. This is an alphanumerical system for specifying note hierarchy. For example, 23/1a12 has the parent 23/1a, child 23/1a12a, previous 23/1a11, next 23/1a13. The number preceding the '/' specifies a core subject area.
At present, relationships must be added in terms of up, down, prev, next, and same. It'd be great if it was possible to instead add a metadata field, such as 'folge:', through which this type of hierarchy is derived.
Hey @abers! Thanks for the FR. Interesting idea.
I've been working on a generalisation of this type of hierarchy for q while now. I can't seem to cover all the cases, but maybe it works for you. It's quite janky atm, but check out Naming System under Settings > Alternative Hierarchies
I was able to get the basics of this working, but not for the specific hierarchy I was looking to represent, which needs regex for the system delimiter and a way to delimitate 'sibling groups' that have the same parent. I've opened a separate issue for the latter, with a suggestion for how it could be handled within the regular hierarchies. If implemented, it could be extended to the naming system by adding a 'naming system group delimiter' with support for regex.
Please can you summarise the rules of the system. Specifically, how to move in each direction from one note to another. I don't think the super-broad Naming Notes system I was working on is the best approach. I'll consider adding a dedicated Edge Builder for Folgezettel
