This sounds like cloning to me. MyInfo does that.

The way I use the term symbolic link is the ability of one node in a node tree to have multiple parents. Or in other words - one node may appear in several places in the node tree, but it is still just one node.
Similar thing is achieved in windows with Junction points.
Sounds like you’re talking about NoteCase Pro’s ability to create node clones. They can be located anywhere and any edits in any clone or the original are automatically propagated to all clones and the original.

Hi,
just wantd to thank for all replies. I dont have any time to read them and reply now but hopefully in a week or so I will. BTW so far I am very impressed with Ultra Recall. Very customizable, very clever. Great symlinks (even the title name of all the linked nodes changes, nice one. not for everybody, but very good for me)
Best regards,
Karel

Not exactly a timely reply but I’m surprised that no one mentioned the GrandDaddy of them all, TreePad. Still the best outliner of the bunch, IMHO. I haven’t used it in a while but I think the open sourced Cherry Tree also does it.

InfoQube inherently supports multiple parents, with one set as the main node parent.
The main parent is the one shown as a context parent (when the user chooses to see context parents)
The main parent can be changed at any time.
