Backlinks do not work for links created using bear note unique id

[roar]

A note of warning here!

Unfortunately, all Bear bear://x-callback-url/open-note?id=BEAR-UNIQUE-ID-TO-NOTE will become invalid, if you ever have to restore from backup!

So, the built in Bear backup/restore has a major flaw if you rely on Note-IDs and Bear x-callback-url links from other notes, external files or apps.

All Bear notes will get NEW unique IDs after restoring from backup!

• It’s safe to restore from iCloud sync, though, so good to have iColud sync active even if you use Bear only on one device.
• It should also be safe to restore from Time Machine Backups (Bear DB)
• But current Bear backup/restore really needs some redesign.
• Current backup file also does NOT work well with single file restore, because creation and modified dates are not preserved! Please fix this
• Export of all Notes as .bear files works better for single file restores: preserves creation, modified when imported on Mac, but on iPad and iPhone: the import option to Keep original creation and modification date is MISSING! Please fix
• But exporting all notes as .bear files does not support encrypted notes, so this approach does not replace Bear’s full backup (where encrypted notes keeps encryption)

After further investigation, it turns out that all note ids are not the same anymore. I.e., restoring from the b…
