"Currently we can only display arbitrarily arranged thumbnails of linked maps and click on them to open the respective maps.
I suggest a more powerful way: a MAP OF MAPS, instead or in addition to the current way. People could vote for this.
And so it would work:
1. In the middle we would see the current map as thumbnail.
2. The linked map thumbnails would be aligned around it.
3. There would exist visible relations between all maps which are linked.
4. Links could be thicker when two maps would be linked many times to each other.
5. Links could use a special look and notation, when they would support additional functionality.
6. A simple click on a map thumbnail would mean: navigate to this map, without to open it. So we would remain in the MAP of MAPs modus.
7. A double click on a map thumbnail would open the respective map in its common modus.
Conclusion:
- we would be able to better overview interdependencies
- we would can perfectly navigate within our knowledge system
- we would better understand our work as a whole"
