Links and Backlinks

Stratum supports several types of links to connect your knowledge graph.

Wiki-links connect pages together. They format as [[Page Name]] or [[Page Name|Display Text]].

  1. Type [[ in the editor — autocomplete appears
  2. Start typing the target page name
  3. Select a page from the dropdown
  4. Or type a full page name and close with ]]

Syntax

# Basic link to another page
[[Target Page]]

# Link with custom display text
[[Target Page|Display Text]]

# Link to a page by its file path
[[notes/my-page]]

# Inline in text
See [[Related Concept]] for more details.
  • Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click) a wiki-link to navigate to the target page
  • Links render with an underline and accent color
  • Hover shows a tooltip preview

Block References

You can reference specific blocks by their UUID using ((uuid)) syntax:

As discussed in ((65f8a1e2-3a4b-4c5d-8e6f-7a8b9c0d1e2f)), the approach is sound.

Viewing Block References

When a block has incoming references, a count badge appears next to it. Click the badge to see references.

Page Embeds

Embed an entire page's content inline using {{embed [[Page Name]]}}:

## Project Status

{{embed [[Current Status]]}}

The embedded content renders as a nested card within the current page.

Every page has a Backlinks panel at the bottom. It shows:

  • Linked references — pages that explicitly [[link]] to this page
  • Unlinked mentions — pages that mention the page title but don't have a formal wiki-link

Each backlink shows: - The source page title - A snippet of context around the link/mention - A click to navigate to the source

Suggested Connections

The Suggested Connections panel (below backlinks) uses AI to find pages that are semantically related but not yet linked:

  1. Click Find to scan for suggestions
  2. Review suggested pages with similarity scores
  3. Click + Link to automatically insert a [[wiki-link]] on the current page

Unlinked Mentions

Stratum detects when the title of page B appears in page A without a wiki-link. These appear as unlinked mentions in the backlinks panel. You can convert them to proper links directly from the panel.
