Displays PDFs from a configured folder in a separate window at chosen pages, lets notes link to them, and offers basic drawing and text-box annotations.
Lets users create clickable links between notes by inserting a note identifier via shortcut or button, then opening the linked note in the browser during review.
Enables quick searching and linking of Anki cards, with hover previews, clickable links, copyable card IDs, customizable shortcuts, and optional visual styling for medical EDN cards.
Links Anki notes together via a custom link format, adding link panels, interactive graphs, and a global relationship graph.
Enhances Anki's card browser with multi-select column menus, extra fields and tags, customizable column order, navigation history, card preview buttons, and translation support.
Opens field content in a separate dialog using a customized TinyMCE editor for advanced table editing, with configurable shortcuts and optional custom CSS.
This add-on allows you to quickly open other cards or notes in a new window:
When you add cidd1234567890123 (card id) or nidd1234567890123 (note id) to a card or template this add-ons transforms the text in the reviewer/previewer to a clickable hyperlink to open them in a new window.
When you select cidd1234567890123, nidd1234567890123, etc. you have also entries in the context menu to open the new window, for details see here.
This add-on also adds an entry to the browser table context menu to copy the card id (cid) or note id (nid).
You can adjust the config of this add-on. It's only tested with the nidd/cidd prefixes.
Use this at your own risk.
For details about cids/nids see e.g. the end of this section from the manual.
Since 2021 there's hjp-linkmaster: π§· ζη»΄ε―ΌεΎ. mind graph. roaming reviewer, bilinker. This add-on was inspired by my add-on but contains much more functionality. I haven't really used it for multiple reasons: My add-on fits my needs better, it's simpler so that it's simpler to use and it should be easier to adjust to newer Anki versions (in 2023-02-25 cloc counts of python lines: ~1800 for my add-on and ~32000 for hjp-link).
Since 2024-02 there's Anki Note Linker which offers some additinal features. I haven't used it.
There's the similar add-on Links between notes, cards, to open browser and previewer by the great add-on creator Arthur Milchior. Our add-ons are slightly different, e.g. Arthur's add-on allows to store search terms in such hyperlinks. On the other hand in Arthur's add-on these links disappear in older Anki versions in Microsoft Windows when you copy and paste from one field to another, see here. In 2023-02 there haven't been updates in over two years and it seems to be partially broken since mid 2021.
In 2017 glutanimate had an add-on named internal references for the old Anki 2.0. He never updated it to Anki 2.1. Only about four years later someone else loaded up a version at https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/323026909 which in 2023 seems to have some problems based on the one negative review. This add-on stored the links between notes as hyperlinks that are not readable for the average user. So if you used this add-on for 2.0 you were in a bad situation: You'd either have to pay someone to update it to 2.1 or lose your links. With my ugly solution where you see the nids/cids you can - once I've stopped updating this add-on etc. - always just copy and paste them into a browser. So there's less lock-in effect in my view.
Maybe Modified reviewer context menu search with browser search, maybe with Browser Maximize/Hide Table/Editor. For details see here.
The add-on Pop-up Dictionary might also be relevant.
\d{13} with \d{13,15} in the source code. I don't want to build this in because this might have unexpected consequences for other people. So you'd have to do this yourself (and after each update of my add-on), see https://github.com/ijgnd/anki__preview_card_edit_note_in_extra_window_linked_from_reviewer/issues/1#issuecomment-561726739
Add-ons only work on Windows, Mac, Linux. So on mobile you need a different solution. I use an Android phone and Ankidroid. In 2019 I added some javascript to my back template that attaches all linked cards/notes at the bottom of my note on mobile, see here. In 2021 I no longer use this workaround for mobile so I don't know if it still works. The review view (webview) can't access your database. It can only read media from your collection.media folder. This add-on adds an option to the main menu to export all linked cards/notes to the media folder so that my js function can read them from there. This solution for Ankidroid uses iframes and won't work on ankiweb and probably doesn't work on ankimobile. You would have to adjust the solution your back template for these platforms and who knows how well this will work in the long run ...
You can add note type (model) names or ids into this list. My add-on transforms entries like nidd1234567890123 into clickable hyperlinks in the reviewer and previewer. If in your card template you have a field in some javascript code using backticks like "var myfield = {{fieldname}}" this transformation from a simple string like nidd1234567890123 to a clickable hyperlink only works if you add your note type to this config key. Limitation: For these note types the transformation in fields that are not surrounded by backticks in your card template no longer works.
Please do not use reviews for bug reports or support requests. I don't get notified of your reviews, and properly troubleshooting an issue through them is nearly impossible (formatting is limited and I can't reply multiple times). If you find a bug let me know in the official anki support forum, on github. Maybe I'll have an idea ...
Modified reviewer context menu search with browser search and maybe Browser Maximize/Hide Table/Editor
maybe add to "modified reviewer" extra option that directly goes into previewer if 13 digits are selected (that's just a double click)-
Append to lookup_and_preview something like
if showpreview:
browser._openPreview()
into add_lookup_action something like
a = menu.addAction(label)
a.triggered.connect(lambda _, t=selected: lookup_browser(t, False))
if re.search("\\d{13}", selected):
a = menu.addAction("lookup in browser and preview")
a.triggered.connect(lambda _, t=selected: lookup_and_preview(t, True))
