Well, it took me a little longer than that, but you uncovered a real
and stupid bug. While I was at it, I found a few more problems related
to that bug and fixed them too. The current svn version appears to
work ok with the data and the procedure that you described.

I didn't really find the time to think about this request. I don't
think it is a big deal to change the databases to allow these links
(afait it boils down to allowing an additional type string in one of
the fields). The real problem is the recursive nature of retrieving
references and notes. If you retrieve stuff linked to a note in a
recursive fashion, you'll get references linked to notes that were
linked to the note that the specified note links to. It is just a
matter of getting this right.

regards,
Markus
