Bury related notes

Allow the user to create a new kind of relation between notes. Burying sibling cards will now also bury cards of any related notes. This add-on only works on Anki desktop, not on iOS, Android or AnkiWeb.

Using this add-on

Create a relation: in the browser, select each note you want in your new relation. Then either press Ctrl+Alt+E or select Edit>create a relation. A new relation will be created and can be seen in the Tags of each Card.

Delete a relation: to delete relation r, just delete the tag relation_r (or customPrefix_r if you've changed the default settings.) This can be done with the Backspace key in the Tags field.

See relations: select a note in the browser. Then either press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E or select Edit>see related notes to see only the notes it is related to.

Configuration

Two notes are related if they have a tag of the form relation_xxxxxxxx, with the same value for xxxxx. You can change relation_ to any other prefix in the add-ons configuration. By default, xxxxx is a generated value. If you'd like, you can choose a meaningful value. In the add-on's configuration switch query relation name to true, then when you create a relation, anki will prompt you to enter the relation's name.

Notes on multiple relations

A note may belong to multiple relations. If a card of this note is seen, all the cards of all of its relations will be buried. If you select a card belonging to three relations and then click on merge, the three relations will be merged.

Interaction with "Copy note"

The Copy notes (1566928056) add-on is used to, well, copy notes. It can be configured so that when a note is copied, a relation between the two is created automatically.

TODO

When synchronising on the computer, look at cards seen today, and bury their related cards. (I don't think I'll ever do it).

Add a button to remove notes from relation.

Add an option to add a single card to a relation, instead of an entire note.

If you want to merge multiple relations into a single one, select at least one note from each relation and click on (note >merge the selected relations). If a note has no relation, it will just be added to this new relation.
