Linking & references

AuroraDocs is built around connections between ideas. Links, block references, backlinks, and unlinked mentions all work together to build your knowledge graph.

Type @ followed by a page name to create an inline link. As you type, a picker shows matching pages. Select one to insert a link.

Hovering over a page link shows a preview card. Click the card header to open the page in a peek modal without leaving your current page.

Block references

Every block in AuroraDocs has a unique ID. You can reference any block from anywhere:

  1. Right-click a block and choose Copy block link.
  2. In any other page, type (( and paste the ID, or type part of the block's content to search.
  3. The referenced block's content renders inline and updates live when the source changes.

Every page shows a Backlinks panel at the bottom listing all pages that link to it. Backlinks are bi-directional — link from page A to page B, and page B automatically shows page A in its backlinks.

Unlinked mentions

The backlinks panel also shows Unlinked mentions — places where your page's title appears as plain text without a link. Click Link next to any mention to convert it into a real backlink with one click.

Graph view

Open the graph view from the sidebar (⌘G) to see your entire workspace as a force-directed graph. Nodes are pages, edges are links. Click any node to navigate to that page.

Page embed (transclusion)

Use /embed or /page embed to embed an entire page inside another. The embedded content is live — editing the source page updates every embed automatically.
