Yes. Oyma natively supports Obsidian-style wikilinks `[[Note Title]]`, automated bidirectional backlink discovery, and unlinked mention suggestions powered by a fast local SQLite graph index.

Bidirectional Knowledge Graphs

Hierarchical folder systems work well for organizing broad categories, but human thought is associative and networked. Breakthrough insights occur at the intersections between disparate concepts: a meeting note links to an engineering design doc, which references a competitor analysis, which links back to a customer interview.

Oyma provides deep bidirectional linking capabilities that turn your static notes into a dynamic, interconnected knowledge web.

Creating links between notes is effortless:

  • Autocompleting Wikilinks: Type [[ anywhere in the editor. An instant autocomplete dropdown appears, fuzzy-filtering note titles across your entire vault as you type.
  • Aliased Links: Link to a note using customized display prose: [[Distributed Consensus|Raft Protocol]].
  • Header Anchors: Link directly to specific sections within a document: [[Architecture Overview#Storage Layer]].

When viewing any note, toggle open the Backlinks panel (⌥⌘B):

  1. Linked Mentions: A comprehensive list of all other notes that explicitly contain a wikilink pointing to the current note, complete with surrounding context snippets.
  2. Unlinked Mentions: The local indexer identifies notes that mention the current note’s title in plain text without a link, offering a one-click button to convert the plain text into an active wikilink.

High-Speed Graph Traversal

Because link relationships are indexed in an embedded SQLite database table, navigating between connected notes takes under 2 milliseconds. Clicking a wikilink opens the target document instantly, and clicking backlinks lets you retrace your intellectual steps effortlessly.

The internal link engine in Oyma resolves references using predictable, standards-based rules:

  1. Shortest Unique Path Resolution: When you type [[Architecture]], Oyma searches your vault for matching filenames. If multiple notes share the name, it displays a disambiguation list showing their relative directory paths.
  2. Contextual Backlink Snippets: The Backlinks panel doesn’t merely list filenames; it extracts the surrounding 200 characters of prose, allowing you to review how concepts connect without opening every file.
  3. Safe Link Renaming: If you rename a note from Old Title.md to New Title.md in the sidebar, Oyma traverses your entire vault and updates all incoming [[Old Title]] references automatically, ensuring zero broken links in your knowledge web.

The internal graph index runs as a lightweight SQLite transaction in the background. As you create, edit, or delete notes, backlink counts and unlinked mention suggestions update within milliseconds, keeping your knowledge graph perpetually synchronized.

When collaborating across team repositories, wikilinks remain completely portable because they reference document titles directly rather than brittle hardcoded database row IDs. Opening the same folder in Obsidian, VS Code with Foam, or Logseq resolves the exact same link paths without broken references.
