relationships between snippets

Hello,
Just started with cintanotes coming from TheBrain. I am looking for a piece of software that is less resource hungry. I like Cintanotes a lot. Fast for input, search, tagging almost everything. As I foresee a large Cintanotes database with many thousands of notes I am looking for another way to link different notes to each other. Tags are nice to do this in general but a more detailed level of building relationships is what I need.
I would like to be able to press a hotkey and that an "add relationship" dialog is presented with a search-field.
Now I can search for the note I want to make a relationship with and hit the OK button (or ENTER). Then the relationship is created visible at both sides of the relationship. Multiple relationships to different notes should be possible. All related notes should be made visible in a seperate way (much like the tags are visible now).
This way you could for example list all projectmembers with their personal information to a project. Visible in one instant and immidiatly clickable. With tags you always need a new search.
I think this kind of functionality would be a great benifit to all people in a knowledge intensive job (I am a BI consultant) and I think would be relatively easy to implement without bloating Cintanotes.
It transforms Cintanotes from a tool to insert knowledge in and search for it later to a tool which will help you to see relations between different notes in Cintanotes and support your own workflow.
This is off course a small write-up for adding a certain functionality to Cintanotes so there might some point to be explained more but I do like to hear if somebody (the developer?) is interested to investigate such a solution.
I am new to Cintanotes so I might overlook some function in Cintanotes that makes what I want already possible to do. But I read the help document carefully and I think it is not possible at the current time.
Thanks for reading and kind regards,
Jeroen
