​Great link. The further links on that page are also excellent.  From OHS
(Open Hyperdocument System) <http://www.dougengelbart.org/about/ohs.html>:​

directly to any point in any file. This feature is absolutely essential to
enable fine-grained browsing, sharing, connecting the dots, interacting
with and editing the contents. Some video platforms such as YouTube have
recently added the ability to right click at any point in a video to Copy
Link* to this point in the video*. This is a great improvement, but an
adhoc approach. The vast majority of our knowledgesphere, including and
especially the world wide web which made *hyperlinking* a household word,
has not offered a reliable and consistent way to identify, link to, jump to
or otherwise address a specific phrase or paragraph, section or multi-media
object within a file.
​Leo certainly should

​There are some very cool features in this video.  Englebart was way way
ahead of its time.

The various links, including transclusions, are nifty.  Org mode has text
filters, but this is a programming concept, not a UI feature.  Recent work
gives Leo cross-file links inside other .leo files.

There are interesting differences between viewspecs and Leo's clone-find
commands.  Viewspecs are more general and dynamic.  Otoh, the results of
Leo's clone-find commands can be manipulated further, something not can't
be done with viewspecs.

Perhaps Leo's clone-find commands could use other "filters" besides text
matches.  But Leo's find commands are already insanely complicated.

Anyway, there is a lot to think about in this video.  I recommend to all
Leo devs.

​The good part seems to be the Comparison between Beaker/IPython/Jupyter
<https://github.com/bolerio/seco#comparison-with-beakeripythonjupyter>.​ I
can't recommend the Mathematica UI.

​Many thanks for these links.

If you can hop on an a plane to Madison Wisconsin, we could drive up to
Ashland Wisconsin for the sprint ;-)
