Joplin – an open source note taking and to-do application with synchronization

One missing feature that has been requested many times, and largely ignored, is linking between pages quickly like in Confluence or a wiki. The biggest value in taking notes for me, comes from the ability to link multiple notes together freely and quickly.

that has been addressed in the quicklinks [1] and the backlinks [2] plugin, which are an absolute bliss

I just tested Quick Links. It looks okay, but the big thing is that you need to be able to create a link to a new page as you type, then open the page and start typing. Quick Links speeds up the process of linking to an existing page. You can already drag a page link from the sidebar onto the page.

Plugins shouldn't be required for core features. I consider linking as a core feature for any feature rich note taking application.
