Doclinks

Usage

• Doclinks (Wikilinks) are used to connect notes and attachments in Oct.

• Type [[ in editor to open the Doclinks Command.

• As you type, the command searches for:

  • Note titles or folder names - Image and video attachments in your workspace
  • Natural language dates for Daily Desk notes (e.g., typing Dec5 finds December 5, 2025)
    • Dates that don't yet exist are also shown; selecting one creates a new blank note for that date

• Note Doclinks appear as links and display a preview of the linked note's content when hovered over.

• Image and video Doclinks appear as embedded images or playable videos.

• Note Doclinks display the full note path, excluding the workspace root.

  • You can customize this in Settings → Editor → Linked Note Display to show only the shortest name where possible.

Creating Notes from a Doclink

• The [[ command allows you to create a new note if nothing matches your entered text.

  • Create a note in this folder — Creates the note in your current folder (if there's no exact match) and automatically links it.
  • Create a note at root — Creates the note at the workspace root (if there's no exact match there) and automatically links it.

Doclinks are stored in Markdown as follows:
