Notes with links do not convey well in plain text

Which feature is the “Links list”?

The Notes Quick View: Link References

The “Note Link” Report (has no filter)

your new “Note Report”

No, I’m useless explaining things.
When you said you wanted a list of Links I thought you were after something like this;


But I suspect you would like the Note_Link Report output but filtered to just those notes you want. Is that right. If you output to ODT the links are clickable by Ctrl Click.

I think that the Notes Quick View: Link References (gramps/plugins/quickview/linkreferences.py) would probably be the easiest to adapt to an optional item for your report. It is already a “Report” type of code.

“Could you include a “Include data marked private” option?”

I am not aware that Private notes are excluded, I thought that all notes were printed.
My thinking being that this is not really a publishable report, so more of a tool for the researcher to correct spelling errors within notes etc.

Yes, that is the problem. If you have more than a couple dozen Notes, this report becomes unusable.

If it could be targeted (with filters), it remains useful for the original purpose: researchers validating the invisible data in their Notes.

Moreover, a filtered version (with a mask that respects when things are supposed to remain “Private”) is also useful for inclusion in Books of reports… to show that self-same invisible data.

I think you are hitting the problem I always have, which is that Note filters can only work with those rules which are Notes centric.
You cannot have just a family’s notes because there is no Family to Notes rule.
So Notes filters are a kitchen knife compared to the scalpel that is the filters available for People or Families.
