Links to folders and files

Just updated my system to Linux Mint 21.3 with Tomboy (classic) no longer in the repository. So I considered Tomboy-ng; first 0.34 which is in the repository and then 0.39. There are couple of features present or missing that inhibit my switching to Tomboy-ng at present, although I congratulate the builders with what had been achieved. Certainly version 0.39 feels smooth, although the hyperlinks are not as fast as in Tomboy Classic, i.e. the detection. I really appreciate the effort that has been put into this, so as to create a solid foundation to continue the life of Tomboy. A necessity for me are links to folders and files. I use them frequently in Tomboy Classic and doing without would be cumbersome. It helps when the cursor would take on another shape when touching a link. Another drawback is the styling of the bullet lists. It is too specific with characters and numbers on level 6, 7 and 8. The arrow styles on level 4 and 5 are very present. Either take something neutral like Tomboy Classic: closed dot, open dot, triangle; or make it configurable so the user can choose an appropriate style fitting the purpose. Restriction to 8 levels might be awkward in some cases. Also, changing bullet level with Tab/Shift+Tab is more or less standard in many text processing tools.
