In-house linking

If you think any of this gibberish looks interesting, you should poke around and subscribe to my RSS feed to keep up with new content.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could link to things on your computer the way you can link to pages and posts on the internet?

I was just making a list in Stickies to help me sort my mind around the things I need to get done today, and I wanted to make an entry that linked to a particular e-mail. I can’t do that, of course, so I’ll just have to make a note of the sender and some keywords so I can search for it later.

But I think it would be a really great feature to be able to pick an e-mail, a file, a saved AIM conversation, a sticky, or a calendar entry and be able to “link” to it in any other application. I could make an entry in my calendar (I think I can link those to e-mails, but I’m not sure) and add a link to a related file.

Someone should do this.
