I have been using Orgmode more and more lately and the more I use it and discover new features with it the more I enjoy using it to keep notes. Creating links in Orgmode is fairly simple:
[[http://www.URL.here][Whatever display text you want]]
Where it gets interesting is that you can also link to sections in your current document. These links happen based on headings i.e. lines that start with different numbers of *
depending on the level of the heading. So if I have the following for example:
* Some Heading
...
** Some Other Heading
I can then refer to Some Other Heading
as follows:
[[Some Other Heading][Whatever display text you want]]
Orgmode tries to do a string match against the headings in your document to work out how to establish the link to that heading. More on links in Orgmode can be found here.
