You can link to a block by adding #^ at the end of your link destination, followed by a unique block identifier. For example: [[2023-01-01#^37066d]]. Fortunately, you don't need to manually find the identifier—when you type the caret (^), a list of suggestions will appear, allowing you to select the correct block.
For simple paragraphs, place the block identifier at the end of the line:
The quick purple gem dashes through the paragraph with blazing speed. Pen in hand and a paperclip in the other, Gemmy works toward her goal of making the world of note-taking a happier place. ^37066d
For structured blocks (lists, quotations, callouts, tables), the block identifier should be on a separate line, with a blank line before and after:
> The quick purple gem dashes through the paragraph with blazing speed. Pen in hand and a paperclip in the other, Gemmy works toward her goal of making the world of note-taking a happier place.
^37066f

This is a simple footnote[^1].
[^1]: This is the referenced text.
[^2]: Add 2 spaces at the start of each new line.
This lets you write footnotes that span multiple lines.
[^note]: Named footnotes still appear as numbers, but can make it easier to identify and link references.
You can also inline footnotes in a sentence. Note that the caret goes outside the brackets.
You can add comments by wrapping text with %%. Comments are only visible in Editing view.

Single return with no spaces: A single Enter with no trailing spaces will combine the two separate lines into a single line when rendered. Single return with two or more trailing spaces: If you add two or more spaces at the end of the first line before pressing Enter, the two lines remain part of the same paragraph, but are broken by a line break (HTML <br> element).
