How about transclusion?

Many plans!
Until any materialize, share what you would like to see, and how exactly. Ever folder of documents is different nowadays.

Backlinks among my Lettera files would be wonderful. If it could read my Bear notes… that would be very useful, too. Not sure how you would accomplish that.
The question is what Lettera’s approach is. If it’s simply a matter of editing notes/files and adding a custom file browser to the app for the sake of convenience, then you could consider the app almost finished. All that’s left is some polishing. But to be honest these days every writing or note-taking app is expected by users to offer at least a basic set of features. And that includes not only wiki links and backlinks, but also tags.
Would be nice to have links from one document to another. I see “Wiki Link” in the format menu, but when I insert [[FILE]] - it’s not clickable.

I’m imagining something like [[Wikilnk]] syntax that matches any .md file within a customizable set of watched directories (managed in Settings), and displays muted links if they don’t match anywhere (and maybe another color if there’s a conflict). Clicking a problem link could search for/open a file browser to that file to add a new directory, or show the matches for disambiguation.
Ditto here. This [[name of file]]or [[name of file.md]] are not clickable. I’ve tested this will files in iCloud and on the local machine. Lettera build 3980.
Wiki linking with documents within the file list would be great. iA Writer does this really well as well, so might be worth checking out how they do it (at the risk of going off at a tangent, the two other things that they do really nicely is quick open and including other documents).
I’d like Lettera to support Markdown dialects in addition to Common Mark. I really want support for definition lists in addition to ordered and unordered lists. Not having support in Bear has been a little annoying to say the least.
The Bear MCP was a pleasant surprise, keep the AI features going with Lettera.
Which reminds me: I tried using Bear to edit CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md files a while ago; I don’t remember the details, but I recall it not being a great experience.
Being able to copy content from a website and paste it as Markdown into Lettera would be super handy as there is much use of Markdown with agents, etc. Currently if I want to copy from the web and paste as Markdown, I have to paste into an editor that recognizes there’s web content in the clipboard and gives the option to paste as Markdown and then copy/paste into Bear/Lettera.
That’s it for now.
