Note Interconnection
All periodic notes in Periodix-Planner are intelligently linked through frontmatter properties, creating a navigable web of time that lets you zoom in and out of your planning horizon effortlessly.
Link Structure​
Each periodic note contains links to:
- Previous period - Same type, earlier in time
- Next period - Same type, later in time
- Parent period - The period that contains this one
- Ancestor periods - All periods above in the hierarchy

Navigation​
You can navigate between periods using frontmatter links or commands. Click any link in the frontmatter to jump to that period, or use keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation.
Automatic Updates​
The plugin automatically updates links when notes are generated, maintains consistency across all notes, and creates missing links when needed.
Use Cases​
Chronological Navigation: Move forward/backward through time (days, weeks, months, quarters, years).
Hierarchical Navigation: Zoom in and out between period levels (Daily → Weekly → Monthly → Quarterly → Yearly).
Context Switching: Quickly see what larger period a note belongs to (e.g., which week contains a specific day).
