Implementing a Luhmannesque zettelkasten requires worrying about the exact location of notes though.
They have to be entered in the sequence in the right place. Which means review is daily at least.

Many mindmap programs allow cloning or mirroring.
But Luhmann’s methodology is about the tree structure, with links and references to notes in other places in the tree. That may be good (or not) but it was his system.

Many programs allow “jumps” and they can be simulated even in a single tree outliner like Workflowy by adding new top level notes (which was what Luhmann did in his card index).
tbh I’m unconvinced by using a mindmap for zettelkasten, conceptually it’s the same as an outline, but working with it is quite different cognitively

Can you name some of them? Thanks!

Both Freemind and its fork Freeplane have cloned nodes.
