I used to think this was quite important and I still like the idea of interlinking notes, particularly for when I am using my phone. But it is ultimately just more gardening. I tried all sorts of systems like that and they all disappointed. What really matters is absolutely instantaneous search. Edit to add: Apple Notes has finally added note-to-note linking, but at the moment I don't have all my Apple devices sufficiently up to date so I haven't tried it. Notes also has tagging support which is another one of those things I was sure I'd use a lot more than I actually do.
