I use several different OO files to manage a single project. Maybe I shouldn't, but that's another story.

As you can imagine some of the stuff in the different files overlap, and I would love to be able to link to/embed sections of one outline into another. I know OO does not do linkback serving, but I was wondering if something like this was possible between OO files.

Thanks!

OmniOutliner does do Linkback in Version 3.6 (maybe it did it in 3.5 too, I forget), but I'm not sure that this would help.

Thanks for the help.

I just fiddled around a bit, but I couldn't get it to work. I could've sworn that the help file said that OO could be LinkBacked to but not from. I'll keep playing with it, in the meantime has anyone had any experience with Linkback in OO or done anything like what I'm trying to do?

Thanks

OmniOutliner is a LinkBack client in 3.6, yes. This means you can copy in selections from OmniGraffle, and other LinkBack aware applications and then double-click the attachment in OO to have it open in the right originating application for further editing.

But yeah, it would be cool to have OO be a LinkBack server too. With limited time, we felt that that embedding cool graphs and such in OO was the better first step.

i like much of ooPro after a week of using it, but miss the across-documents linking facility. one selects a text and links to a topic in anoher document. the origin becomes clickable and the end has an icon.
and oh, i too use a number of outlines to get my work done, each with its own layout.
the other notebook feature i like is that clipping is possible from the contextual menu.

Internal links are something that we're considering for the next major release of OmniOutliner.
