Description

For creating a link from one note to another the id of the note has to be used. In the web UI it's easy to see the id in the URL. However in the mobile app there is no way to see the id and therefore it is impossible to create a link to another note. See https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/issues/386.

Even better would be a way to create a link to another note by typing in the title of the note and the id would be handled behind the scenes.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the mobile note editor and how note links are currently entered, then determine how note IDs and titles can be selected or displayed. Done means a user can create a link to another note without manually finding its ID, with the intended interaction agreed first.
