Archive 2 must be a new system much like the vision of Ted Nelson. The idea is to have a system of connecting everything to everything. Few days ago I found this app ==Drafter notes==, it does something magical by giving you the option of having a link point 'where you want it to'.
[a figure showing three rectangular nodes/elements connected to each other by lines originating from specific circular points within each box, with arrows pointing to these 'link points']
And you get to put as many as your heart desires on each element.
I have found this idea incredibly interesting; All the problems that Nelson has stated about lumps, web, problems with linking;
Now a new question in designing Archive becomes this: How to have the other end of this linking there?

One idea is to have its unique web. But I hate that, maybe a relative address? But no, maybe a ==uid==.

By the way, if I ever get to build this, then I would never call it 'Links' or 'Jumps', I want 'Ropes'.
