Description

101

This add-on allows you to create links between your cards. Here's how:

  1. Go fetch the nid of the card you'd like to link
    • In the card browser, select the card
    • Press Cmd+Maj+C (that will copy the card's note identifier (aka nid))
    • Alternatively, you can right click > Information (or Cmd+Maj+I), look for the note identifier
    • Crucially, you want a note identifier, not a card identifier!
  2. Go edit the card in which you want to insert the link
    • Paste the nid where you want the link to be
    • Select the nid
    • Press Cmd+Alt+L or the Ln button
  3. Now, when you'll review the card, if you click on the nid, the browser will open on the card you linked.

On Windows and Linux, replacing Cmd with Ctrl should preserver the shortcuts !

If you wish to modify the css of the button, you can go in the user_files folder and modify the clickable_cards.css file. It should be preserved when (and if) I'll update the add-on.

Alternatives & Troubleshooting

If I were you, I wouldn't use this addon and instead I would opt for link Cards Notes and Preview them in extra window or one of the alternatives listed in the description of this addon. They are better maintained and some of them allow to insert links to both card and note. My addon only supports links towards notes.

My addon only works on the desktop version of Anki, whereas πŸ”—Anki Note Linker (one of the alternatives aforementioned) proposes a tweak to make links work on AnkiDroid and AnkiMobile (see their description for more details).

Here is the addon page on GitHub.

Known issues

This addon is not compatible with Open the same window multiple time: it will break the search bar.

Credits

As mentioned in the code's commentaries, this addon is built upon link Cards Notes and Preview them in extra window, Clickable Tags v2.0, and editor wrap selected text with custom html which has been removed from AnkiWeb since.
