5.4 Hyperlinks

Planner automatically creates context-sensitive hyperlinks for your tasks and notes when you use planner-create-task-from-buffer and remember.

Blue links indicate URLs and Planner pages that already exist. Red links indicate Planner pages that have not yet been created.

Middle-click or type <RET> on any link to view the link in the current window. Shift-middle-click or type <S-RET> to view the link in another window. <TAB> goes to the next link, while <S-TAB> goes to the previous one.

You can pick up hyperlinks using the planner-annotation-as-kill function.

— Function: planner-annotation-as-kill

Create a context-sensitive hyperlink for the current buffer and copy it to the kill ring. When called with a prefix argument, prompt for the link display name.

You can then paste it into any Planner buffer by using M-x yank or the keyboard shortcut.

Alternatively, you can create hyperlinks by typing them directly, using the syntax defined by Muse. Anything inside double square brackets will be treated as a link. For example, if you type ‘[[GroceryList]]’ in a Planner buffer, you will end up with a link to a page called ‘GroceryList’. see Bare URLs WikiNames and InterWiki links, for more information about Muse syntax.

Hyperlinks are a powerful feature of Planner. You can use them to hyperlink to mail, news, Web pages, and even IRC connections. See the section on Managing Your Information to find out how to enable support for various parts of Emacs. Want to add a new hyperlink scheme?
