With ace-window and link-hint, open links exactly where you want them

very smart!

If you take the idea of ditching the cursor altogether you get [cursorless](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pokey.cursorless). Its primary users are voice coders (like me part time), but I think the idea of ditching the cursor can be useful for both voice and hand input users. I have a project waiting for me in order to re-implement a simpler emacsy version of this using word/paragraph/thing-at-point that would basically extend avy to not prompt for a target or allow for multiple actions first. Maybe a transient or Hydra would be better though. Do you really want to navigate, or do you want to do? Food for thought I suppose.

I think the general concept here is powerful, but for this specific problem it might be worth it in the long run to get display-buffer-alist to display note links you navigate to as you would do manually.

Very interesting. I hadn't thought about using custom actions like this.
