Here's an example of how I build profiles for people as they appear in my notes. For example, if Louis XVI appears in my notes about the French Revolution, I want to quickly write up a profile from a database labeled "Who's Who" without having to travel outside of my notes page.

Step 1: Create a relational property inside the "Notes" database.

1. Create new property inside Notes database → click "Relation"

2. Choose external database you wish to connect.

Step 2: Create a template inside "Notes" database

1. Locate (...) in top right hand corner → click "Templates" and "New Template"

   • Label the template something like "New Note" or "New Entry"

2. Trigger "/linkdata" to point to desired database inside the template.

Step 3: Filter linked database (optional)

• Create a property inside linked database that calls for "Created Time."

• If you have a large database linked inside a template and don't want every entry inside the database to appear. In other words, if you merely want it used as a remote, add this filter:

Step 4: Filter again and apply

After clicking the template within a new note, filter the database to link with the note.

Give it a test run:
