Evernote, too, provides URLs to entries or categories of entries. Another application that provides such links is Outlook (with the help of freeware Outlook Linker)

One thing I am worried about is whether such URLs change when the content is re-organised. In the case of Outlook and Evernote I know that they provide a unique and permament link to each entry, but I don’t know about UR or WF. This would be crucial in order to maintain a valid reference from the front end.

This kind of functionality is about the only thing I miss in Brainstorm and Zoot. Brainstorm’s entry identifiers are not permanent, while Zoot, as far as I can tell, does not provide such URLs (though I may easily be mistaken, overwhelmed by what else it offers!)

Last but not least, URLs to content are on the coming-soon feature list for Surfulater, a powerful app on which I’ll be posting separately.
