That’s not true. I don’t remeber in which version it was introduced but in the latest version it is possible to click in links in edit mode. When you move the mouse around the cursor turns in a hand over a link.

The nice part in ConnectedText is that I can collect pieces of information and organize them in any way want without to plan ahead. For instance I can start a text and in the middle of it I discover I can need some information. I create a link to it and can fill it later.

There is so much that can be done with ConnectedText that I cannot live without it anymore. I used Wikidpad before but the text presentation is rather poor and lack many features that ConnectedText has.

Best,
