[tomboy-list] Short thought: Multiple note titles...

Tomboy does feel a lot like a powerful wiki, except for one very important
thing: Multiple titles. In Tomboy, notes can have single titles, and nothing
more. Thus, linking to a specific note generally requires a bit of thinking.

It would be very cool if, below the main title (in smaller, italicized
text), one could add secondary titles for notes. That, combined maybe with
some stemming, I think would really enhance Tomboy's usability, making it
much more smooth and transparent to operate.

I realize this would bump into an interesting problem: Notes with identical
secondary titles! That could be remedied via tags. When writing text that
would link to a note via a secondary title, the note to link to could be
selected based on which one has the most similar tags to the note being
written. Rather Zen-like, I think. (I might attempt it myself, in fact).
Just wondering whether anyone else agrees with the thought, or if it is a
dumb idea in the opinion of everyone but me.

Looking forward to feedback!

Bye,
