I can't emphasize enough how really useful the Nav tab is for searching.
And its display separates out node headlines hits from body hits. It's
also very fast, even with a very large Leo file. So if we used the
following for tags:
:tag: some cool tag
Then we could just search for "g: some cool" and we'd get all the matches.
Clicking on one takes you right to that node.

I gather that he used a overall index to the top level headings, and (I
think) a separate set of slips for citations.

I now definitely like one link per line, and the commandsI included with
the sample zettelkasten rely on that.

Here's one way. Create a new node for the idea-in-progress. Refer to it
this way:
.. note:: This is a simple **note** box.
.. link: TomP.20200221124629.1 Zettels
It will format when rendered as a nice looking note box, and it would be
easy to write a command to find the reference and go to it. It wouldn't be
much harder to have the command create the new node if it didn't exist.
