add an easy way to insert a link to the note of a given reference? about citar-denote HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi Jonatan,

Great suggestion. I will add this functionality over the next week or so.

You are right to follow the process of citar-denote-open-note and then pass the notes files (can be more than one) into the denote-link function.

Hi Jonatan,

Would this function meet your needs?

(defun citar-denote-link-reference ()
  "Insert a Denote link to a bibliographic note."
  (interactive)
  (if-let* ((citekey (citar-select-refs
		      :filter (citar-denote-has-notes)
		      :multiple nil))
	    (files (gethash (car citekey)
			    (citar-denote-get-notes citekey)))
	    (file (if (= (length files) 1)
		      (car files)
		    (funcall project-read-file-name-function
			     "Select note: "
			     files nil nil nil))))
      (denote-link file)))

That's exactly what I had in mind! Thank you!

the note was somehow not connected to the ref. It workd beutifully.

Thanks for the suggestion and the feedback.

The email still contained your images so that is what I responded to.

I have committed the new version, which will appear in MELPA any time soon. Commit: 327c7f3
