Mention links one memo to another with an @ typeahead — start typing @ and a few letters of a title, pick a result, and MythOS drops in a live chip that points at the target memo. The forward half of 📝Mentions & Backlinks, it exists because a knowledge base is only as useful as its connections, and retyping titles or pasting URLs is the friction that stops you making them. It's for every creator weaving memos into a connected library — no syntax to learn beyond the @.

FAQ
- Does
@search people or memos? Memos. The typeahead searches your library and public community memos — mentions link to memos, not user profiles. - What happens when I rename a linked memo? Its mentions are rewritten everywhere in the background — across memos and daily memos. The update is fire-and-forget, so it can take a few seconds.
- Can I change a mention's wording? Yes. Alt-click the chip to give it custom display text; the link target stays the same.
- What if the memo doesn't exist yet? Choose + Create New from the dropdown — MythOS creates the memo first, then inserts the mention pointing at it.
- Can I mention another creator's memo? Yes, if it's public — those appear under "Community memos" in the dropdown.
