Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some editors allow for references to be added to notes. Those references are a link to that specific note.
This allows for fancy things like automatic-mind-map-creation.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see notes support double-bracket-references.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Not implementing this.

Additional context
Obsidian.md allows this, aswell as zettlr.

wether double-bracket or mark-down style [linkdescription](https://actual.link): I would be very glad to see this feature.
I've seen a discussion elsewhere that it might be difficult to implement stable links, as the regular link equals to note title. But I think instead of using the note-name in the url it should be possible to implement it with the numerical note ID, which is shown when looking at notes in the webbrowser.

Another nice thing for me would be, if any internal or external link would be clickable not only in view-mode, but also in edit-mode (e.g. ctrl-click or shift-click). I usually look at my notes in edit-mode (there's always something to add..) and would like to be able to hassle free follow links I have previously placed in that note. (#173)

Hello, I am really interested in this feature, its the last thing keeping me from using this as my only note taking app. I'm totally new to the project so I was wondering if there is any reason this isn't implemented or if some UI/UX discussion needs to take place.

If the only issue is time from the developers I can try and make a pull request if needed. But I would like to know if that's the only thing missing before putting the time to code it.

This would be super useful for syncing notes created with Obsidian, which supports internal links https://help.obsidian.md/Linking+notes+and+files/Internal+links#Supported+formats+for+internal+links

This is the biggest missing feature for me.
