Found [this thing](https://subconscious.substack.com/p/what-if-links-werent-meant-to-be) about how the [`[[wikilink]]`](#wikilinks) is "modeless", the `[[wikilink | front-facing text]]` is not, [`[front-facing text](link)`](#markdown) is not, [`<a href="link">front-facing text</a>`](#html) is not... 

I *like* modeless [links](#links). It feels like how [footnotes](#footnotes) build to be more than references and create their own culture of catty asides. Passive aggressively [linked text](#hypertext) is one of my favorite -- err-- "neologism" is "neo" + "logos", right? How to say new + literary-mode-of-expression? 

Of course, even the author [elsewhere likes the idea of playing with the function of link text](https://subconscious.substack.com/p/all-you-need-is-links). 

[This](https://subconscious.substack.com/p/wiki-as-a-commons?utm_source=url) would certainly be of interest to y'all -- considers [commonses](#the commons) and [wikis](#wikis)...
