When you think of CamelCase and on-the-fly creating of non-existing files/headlines, it's just another way of *capturing* stuff. Why not defining some simple syntax to trigger the capture mechanism from special links? For example: "I write a reference to a >c:newfile which I can create later." - The ">c:newfile" is a link. - The ">c" is a link abbreviation. - The ">" part is the syntax for link abbrevations to trigger a capture. - The "c" part is the keybinding of capture template to call. - The "newfile" would be passed on as a variable for the (nth 3) of the template (we could have several variables separated by "#" This would combine the flexibility of on-the-fly file creation and of the capture mechanism, allowing multiple templates.
