I was using the tabulated-list-mode, and it took me not more than 1 hour to finish the foundation of browsing the data tree based hyperlinking menu system, that I call Emacs HyperScope. Here is video demonstration how to add description link: https://open.tube/videos/watch/aebdcd5c-1a83-40eb-ab6d-0f1f71bb7919 Description link is type of a link. It just shows the description. Similarly like README in directories. But HyperScope is not directory based, it is database based. Though it can link to file system of course. Here is how it can link "greedy" (if this is the right word) to the specific query in the PDF file. This largely depends of the PDF readers, such as evince that allows such option: https://open.tube/videos/watch/b7cae225-f1a5-4211-b0aa-db23d292e60e Emacs HyperScope: linking from GNU Hyperbole file to HyperScope link by its ID: https://open.tube/videos/watch/f7ecc4b7-4422-4018-b775-c4cfdf2694bc Emacs HyperScope: linking from GNU Hyperbole explicit button to HyperScope specific action like PDF query: https://open.tube/videos/watch/5140c959-28ce-4ff5-9035-4c4d4c51dd52 Now the problem to hyperlink to specific Maildir for Hyperbole is solved on my side, I can just provide explicit button and run Emacs Lisp to open such Maildir. Or anything else. Then my links within Hyperbole buttons like similarly to below. "sample-hyperbole.txt" ("Satzung,_FSFE,_Memberships" nil nil eval-elisp ((hyperscope-action 151)) "" "20190826:-34:54:35" nil nil) ("Hans-Peter_Dürr" nil nil eval-elisp ((hyperscope-action 119)) "" "20190826:-34:23:36" nil nil) ("Review_Communication" nil nil eval-elisp ((hyperscope-action 129)) "" "20190826:-34:21:12" nil nil) I am just surprised that now is 2019, and so much time passed since mother of all demos, and we still don't have possibilities in all kinds of software to copy the reference or backlink, and to link greedy to all kinds of information pieces. Now I can make a Hyperbole File hyperlink type. If mime type is for Org, it could be open as Org file, or any other type of file, text, Markdown, whatever. It allows me to jump by Hyperbole button to menu driven hyperlink set of choices. If I polish the system, maybe it could be included in Hyperbole, it makes sense. But it is database based system, SQL, PostgreSQL, has requirement for database. Jean
