Linking & aliases

Whilst the content of an alias (text, most attributes, etc.) is shared with the original note on which the alias is based, its inbound and outbound (basic) links belong to the alias itself:

• basic links - discrete to (each) alias and discrete from the original's.
• text/web links - shared with original

Thus whilst basic links created to/from an alias are discrete to that alias, text links always belong to the original. Given these differences, aliases support their own discrete Roadmap view and Browse Links dialog.

Aliases are (HTML) exported as separate entities linking in a fashion appropriate to their location within the export folders. In an export context, the alias note's text still has the original's outbound text links but it's own basic links.

N.B. The links() operator only investigates links to/from original notes, thus those from aliases are ignored.
