Can someone here _Please tell me which Note-Taker (aka: Info-Manager, Outliner, Knowledge-Base) includes this ONE Feature ::
In Paragraph 2 of Note-A you mention a subject Fully Discussed in the 24th Paragraph of Note-K; SO in Note-A’s Paragraph 2 you blithely insert a Hyperlink to JUMP to Paragraph 24 of Note-K.
A bit more data:: For years, I used the above precise Feature in AskSam, but I now Need to Migrate to a Two- (or more) Pane App that offers good formatting ability.
PLEASE Sirs, What App Links to a Specific Paragraph in Another Note ??!
(Note: Apps I have not yet tested for the above feature include MyBase & WhizFolders.)
Your Help will be Greatly Appreciated !

If I understand your request clearly, OneNote has this feature.
Copy a section of text ‘copy as hyperlink to this paragraph”.
Paste link into new note.
Clicking on link takes you back to the original paragraph with the text selection highlighted.
Does that meet your requirements?

One can create links between notes in myBase, but I don’t think one can link paragraphs within different notes. However, myBase has a lot of functionality that is not immediately obvious, so you might wish to ask the developer. It is pretty good about answering questions…just give it 2-3 days as it is in central China.

ConnectedText enables the creation of anchors to any part of your text and you can use them in links. I am not sure if is that you are looking for and if CT has the set of features necessary to your work.

Thank you Jack! I looked at their website & it does indeed look like it has this depth of linking. ... Definitely need to test it!
Can you tell me about its formatting ability? I’m a writer, so I need to richly format my documents.
So far, the only other organizing word processor I’ve found that supports linking to other spots throughout the database is an awesome app named WhizFolders. It astounds me that so basic a feature—one that is ubiquitous on the internet—could possibly be lacking in most (So-Called!) Info-Managers ! ! The info-manager app-category so clearly demonstrates the glacial pace that humans improve their tools.
