I am wondering if there's any way to automatically find related items. Specifically, if I have an item called "Item1", I want to see all other items that contain the word, "Item1". In currently popular apps like Roam, Obsidian, and Logseq, this is known as "Unlinked References" or "Unlinked Mentions". Is there a way to write a Row Equation that would automatically populate with the names of items which contain the name of the current item? Or would there be some other way to achieve something like this?

Hi Lucas,

Items can be very many things in IQ. I use it for my accounting, so I would have 100s of Groceries items, same with Hydro bills. So it would need to be more focused than all items, such as items in this grid, or items with a given field.

For now, you could leave the Live-Search grid open and copy / paste the item text to see other references. If you select and "copy as hyperlink" these, you could paste this in a text column specific for this, say UnlinkedRefs

HTH !
