So by “indented linked references” you mean something like this (using OP example)?
- [[Desktop]]
- [[Scripting]]
This wouldn’t be equivalent to the features a namespace has, right? Searching for [[Desktop]]
will give me above parent block. But I would need to figure out manually, [[Scripting]]
is a child page (by looking at the result) and start another search. [[Desktop]]
would automatically provide all results for [[Desktop/Scripting]]
, now being a namespace.
