I’d love to see a “link card” feature in PureRef—similar to Obsidian Canvas—so that clicking a card would instantly jump you to another PureRef board. The idea is to build a “table of contents” or master board from which you can navigate to any of your individual and frequently used refference boards with one click.

This kind of system is already familiar to users of infinite-canvas apps like Heptabase or Obsidian. For example, you might have a master board titled “Animals,” and from there click on cards labeled “Dog,” “Cat,” etc., to open their respective reference boards. Likewise, an anatomy master board could link out to frequently used reference boards, such as “Arm,” “Leg,” and “Torso.”

In the latest version (2.1.0 beta 2), the main page now shows a few “Recently Opened” files—but I find this alone isn’t enough. A dedicated, clickable table of contents would make navigation far more powerful and efficient.

I’ve attached a short video showing how this works in Obsidian.

Thank you for the suggestion! You can currently use hyperlinks in notes to link to other boards, but we understand that clicking a thumbnail or something like that would be nicer. We'll note your request and keep it in mind as we continue to improve PureRef!
