Links and transclusion

Mention a Book in your reading journal and the Book’s page lists the journal entry as a backlink. Pull the key quote from that Book into a Project brief and it stays in sync with the source. Lar offers several link forms; pick the lightest one that gives the reader what they need.

You want to…	Use
Point to another Object	[[Title]] wikilink
Show another Object’s content in place	![[Title]], or the Embed note slash item
Point to one specific block	(( block reference
Tag the Object	#tag

Link an Object with a wikilink

1. Type [[ and start typing a title or alias.
2. Use ↑ and ↓ to choose a match, then press Enter. If no Object has that exact title, choose the + entry to create a new Page with it.

The link renders as a pill in the target’s Type color, and Lar records the connection so it appears in the target’s backlinks. A title that doesn’t match any Object shows as a dangling reference until you create or rename the target. To follow a link while editing, Cmd-click it on macOS or Ctrl-click it on Windows and Linux.

The Link to note slash item opens the same picker.

Transclude another Object’s content

Type ![[Title]] to show another Object’s content inline, or ![[Title#Heading]] to show one section. To embed one block, choose Embed note from the slash menu, pick the Object, then pick the block.

A transclusion is a live view, not a pasted copy: the source Object stays authoritative, and edits to it show up everywhere it is embedded.

To change how an Object link or embed looks, open its block action menu and choose Display as: Inline link, Compact card, Card, or Embed.

Reference one block

1. Type (( and start typing text from the block you want.
2. Choose the block from the results.

Lar inserts a reference that shows a snippet of the block and takes you back to it. To reference a block you’re looking at, choose Copy → Copy block reference from its action menu and paste it where you need it.

A block reference points at one block, so it stops resolving if that block is deleted. Prefer an Object or section link when that’s specific enough.

Hover for context

Hover over a link to see a card with the target’s Type and key properties, without leaving the current page.

Understand backlinks

Object links and typed relations feed backlinks. Plain text that merely matches a title doesn’t; Lar lists it under Unlinked mentions in the Object’s details so you can decide whether to link it.
