All this should be straightforward to do. Terry's bookmarks.py plugin uses a "distinguished" node to hold bookmarks, but perhaps this isn't necessary. If a link doesn't yet exist, a new node could be created as the "originating" node's child, or sibling. That would make it possible to organize nodes as we like, without constraints. This page <https://writingcooperative.com/zettelkasten-its-like-gtd-for-writing-and-here-s-why-you-should-consider-it-7dddf02be394> lists lists principles of Zettlekasten. The "unique home" principle might be relaxed to handle clones. The plugin might turn the [[link]] syntax into a special abbreviation, or something like that. In short, a Zettlekasten plugin should be easy to do. I have just created #1482 <https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1482> for this.
