Suggestion:  be able to install hyperlinks to other parts of workflowy.

For example, I have workflowy separated by "Standup", "Jira", "Todo", and "Notes" (among others).  In standup, I write the usual, "yesterday", "today", "opstackles". 

In the "Todo" section, I put in the "todo" for a particular "Jira" ticket.  I do the same for "Notes" for a particular jira ticket.

It would be especially cool if I could link "notes" from a Jira ticket to the "Notes" for that jira ticket--so as I don't have to go scrolling, or searching--my workflowy is now quite large.

  "As we speak, we're building bi-directional links into WorkFlowy. It's happening..."
  Such great news!
  WorkFlowy 2.0 with all these new features seems to be coming very soon!!

  Yup, was reluctantly considering a switch to Roam because of bi-directional links. Linearly stacked notes aren't manageable. There have been so many times where identical information needs to go under different notes. The options were, duplicate the data or create a complex mess of tags. Neither work great.

  Bi-directional link solves this fundamental flaw create a network of much more useable info - especially how Roam have implemented it with summaries etc. at the bottom of each note. It more closely mirrors how the human mind works with multiple cross connections. Can't wait for the upgraded Workflowy - thanks to WF team for listening :)

  Max, What's your estimated time of delivery for bi-directional links?

  Any update / time-frame on this?

  I need to completely reorganise my WF data but I'm reluctant to do it until bi-directional links are available, I'm stranded in limbo until.

  Cheers,

  Chris

  OK so bi-directional links (i.e. backlinks)  are not going to happen soon, right? Is this a software architecture issue?
