Mindmap functionality

something like simplemind, mindmeister, or other mindmapping tools. The difference would be that in Logos one would be able to:

link directly to notes
link idrectly to Bible passages
Link directly to other books in the library

i already can have direct links to these things in the notes tool, so it shouldn't have to be much effort..? The big difference would be the visual way of working. The notes tool is very linear, a mindmap is much more linked by assocciation.

An most viable product would be something like the notes tool, but visually in the form of a mindmap.

I'd like to vote on this, but I need to better understand what you are suggesting.

Where are these links to reside? It seems that you mean not in the Notes Tool...?

Are you suggesting a new tool, something along the lines of the note management tool Obsidian, or other Zettelkasten-like tool?

Or perhaps simply expand the Notes Tool to be more Obsidian-like or Zettelkasten-like?

@Jeffrey Gardner Great that you maybe want to vote! I am just looking for some functionality in the form of a mind map. I think that an MVP solution would be just to order the notes differently en to be able to make links between notes. I am not looking for a whole new tool.

Obsidian maybe way to expanded for what i am looking for, i use simplemind myself. This is an really eaysy to use tool, specialized in mindmaps.

If anything like that were available in Logos, it would help tremendously. Then you could make a comment on a Bible text, or commentary, and think it through later with new thoughts. And on those thoughts also link new Bible text or commentaries. I recommend looking at simplemind.com. By the way, I certainly don't use the mind maps with single words, but with whole chunks of text. Those pieces of text would be the notes. I think that might be more like Zettekasten (I just read about the term for the first time). And you can then link those together with lines , or to other Bible texts , or to commentaries.

A most basic form of this would be:
* make a note to a Bible text with the current notes funtion
* make a note to a commentary with the current notes function
* make a separate note without an anchor
* visually connect these three notes together

I am looking for this last step. You can now connect the 3 notes above with labels, or give them all the same anchor, but visually that is not clear at all.

Does that give a little more picture?
