Yes, Connected Text appears very powerful in this respect. I have a specific use in my mind, namely the collection and cross-referencing of a large number of my own texts. I had considered wikis in the past, but Connected Text also provides a visual presentation of interlinkages which I miss in ordinary wikis.

However, I would note that my starting point (quite possibly along with others in this forum) is rather peculiar. I have already partial collections in various other tools, from which the transfer to Connected Text is not evident. These collections represent considerable effort, so I would prefer to not have to transfer texts one by one.

It would perhaps make sense to be able to grab information directly from some popular tools, such as Evernote.
