Outliners indexing external links

@Slartibartfarst thanks for adding some suggestions.
You can set from control panel in Windows what folder to index, but windows search is far from ideal, and I think at that point there is no connection to the fact that a file is linked or not with Onenote. Moreover, in recent versions to foster the use of clouding, Microsoft has disabled in Onenote - as I already noticed in a previous post - a good feature present until v. 2010, i.e. drag&drop pop-up menu with the option of “linking the file”. Now there is only “attached the file”. To link a file you need to use only menus, and several clicks.

About Qiqqa, which belongs to a similar league of Zotero, Mendeley, Endnote: it is good to know that it became open source. But the latest version in github dates 2021, with one big drowback. After indexing thousand of files, the exe goes “out of memory”, and becomes unusable (as explained here: https://github.com/GerHobbelt/qiqqa-open-source/releases). To correct the error it would be necessary probably to turn the app 64bit but there is no sign of it.

In looking for similar software, I came across to Komga (https://komga.org/). It organizes (so no search contents I believe) comics, but I read it is good also for ePUBs and PDFs. I just wonder if someone has ever used it, being also multi-plaform.
