I'm not an expert, but there are features of a graph database in which Roam is based that haven't been implemented. One of these is the capacity to add properties or labels to the links (edges, in graph database terms). I guess it's going to be implemented in the near future. This is going to add extra power to Roam.
«The edges representing the relationships have two qualities: they always have a start node and an end node, and are directed; making the graph a directed graph. Relationships can also have properties. This is useful in providing additional metadata and semantics to relationships of the nodes.» https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database
(Similar tools like Tinderbox or Storyspace by Eastgate have had this feature for long.)
Clever solution!

Thanks for sharing!
This is excellent, Matt. An easily implemented solution to the directionality problem.
Good article Matt - clever and useful. Thanks!
