From the “What’s New” documentation for version 2.1 or the Mac app:

Wiki Links and Links in General

When trying to open a link’s target document and a document with the exact name does not exist, Notebooks applies smarter logic to find an alternative. Here is an example:

Given the link “notebooks://Projects/Documents/Note”, Notebooks now tries to resolve the link in this sequence:

Look for a document “Note” in the book “Projects ⟩ Documents”
Search for “Note” with any extension, like txt, md, jpg etc.
Scan for any filename containing “note”
Peek into editable documents and pick the first one which contains “note”
Ask the user to create the document, provided the original link had an extension of txt, html or Markdown
This strategy provides pretty much freedom and flexibility when creating references across Notebooks.
