E.g. would I + see it if I change to fundamental-mode? + - A: Summarizing: if it's an explicit button the metadata is in a + different file in the same directory, ".hypb". If it's an + implicit button, no, no metadata in the buffer; such buttons + have no metadata, Hyperbole creates all of the button properties + from the existing text in the buffer. +- Q: Is it possible to link to a file by its ID (denote, Org ID, or + some similar unique string inside)? + - A: +- Q: Re: the frames example: any thoughts or consideration for a + transient interface? Or, is this something one could already toggle? + - A: Hyperbole predates many of the newer features and packages + and Emacs but they integrate as they find them useful for + Hyperbole. They think the current minibuffer menu is pretty good + and don't have plans to have a transient menu +- Q: Re: multi-file search functionality.

What + inspired you to write it back around the time of its birth? + - A: Born before the Web. The Web was born in the middle of a + Hyperbole version's development. Seemed like an explosion of + unstructured information was imminent, e.g. needing to deal with + many emails, non-database-structured info. Needed a general + system that could work with other general systems like emails, + document production. Was researching at a university on + "Personalized Information Environments" (PIEs). PIEs was an + architecture with managers (like Hyperbole) and point tools that + would leverage the managers (e.g. an email reader as a point + tool to leverage the hypertext manager). Wrote a Gmail-like + system years before Gmail (also similar to Rmail). Allowed + buttons embedded in Rmail drawn from the subject of the email + message. Rule-based processing was included, etc. +- Are you familiar with embark package? I think there is some + overlapping functionality with Hyperbole. + - A: Yes, recently started using it. Have talked to oantolin + (Omar Antolin Camarena), the author. Thinks that Embark and + Hyperbole are compatible, much like Hyperbole and Org are.
