I can confirm Neo for OS X, a very powerful, yet affordable outliner with symlinks
For any operating system that can run Emacs, org mode is a fantastic, if a little idiosyncratic outliner sporting symbolic links amongst many other features.

I use MyInfo and Zim Wiki a lot: they both support links where you can edit the text of the link name/label. Is that a ‘symbolic link’?

Would you please define “symlinks” in the sense you use it. See generally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link
So far as I know, NoteCase Pro has never had the capability to create symlinks.
Best regards,

Hi!
The way I use the term symbolic link is the ability of one node in a node tree to have multiple parents. Or in other words - one node may appear in several places in the node tree, but it is still just one node.
Similar thing is achieved in windows with Junction points.
“So far as I know, NoteCase Pro has never had the capability to create symlinks.”
Well, it depends on how we define symbolic link (and there’s no use in going academical :-)
NCP does something that may or may not be called a symbolic link. It more or less works for my needs so that’s why it is in the list. Try this: node properties/link/link to an internal note…

Hi,
it is very nice function, but it is not a symbolic link. See my answer about symbolic links below, pls.
