# Linking headings (poor-man's Zettelkasten) and defining advanced task dependencies
Karl Voit (he/him, IRC: publicvoit, <mailto:EmacsConf22@Karl-Voit.at>)

As written in [this blog
article](https://karl-voit.at/2020/06/14/Zettelkasten-concerns), Karl
thinks that a full-blown Zettelkasten workflow is not always a perfect
match for a given set of requirements.

To him, the most important aspect of the Zettelkasten method are the
**bi-directional links between arbitrary headings**. If you want to use
such links without the additional burden and benefit of a
Zettelkasten implementation, you might want to learn how
bi-directional links are able to help you here.

In this talk, you will see a demo how links are used in the author's
setup for linking headings and **defining advanced dependencies between
todo headings**.

You can find [the **self-contained demo file** on
Gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com/publicvoit/orgmode-link-demo). It
consists of various packages and some Elisp glue to create these methods:

- Bi-directional links between headings:
  - [org-super-links](https://github.com/toshism/org-super-links) with `org-super-links-org-ql` and `org-super-links-org-rifle`
    - `org-super-links-quick-insert-inline-link`
    - `org-super-links-quick-insert-drawer-link`
  - [org-linker](https://github.com/toshism/org-linker)

- Advanced dependencies:
  - [org-edna](https://www.nongnu.org/org-edna-el/)
  - [org-linker-edna](https://github.com/toshism/org-linker-edna)

- Search, completion and narrowing:
  - [helm](https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/)
  - [helm-org](https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm-org)
  - [org-ql](https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql) with `helm-org-ql`

- Adding CREATED properties for new headings: [org-expiry](https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib/blob/master/lisp/org-expiry.el) (not necessary for any demo functionality)
