1 Diagramming software like Scapple, but with notes connectable to multiple parts of the map?

If it is a *separate* Scapple map then you can make a hyperlink to it from the main map to that map (though not to a specific note on that map - Scapple notes have no address). I do this all the time, not least as I keep some maps as Master Indexes of a set of others (e.g. within the same larger project). The instructions are in section 4.6 of the Scapple manual.

AFAIK though, there is no way to hyperlink *within* the same Scapple map, again because the individual notes have no address.
