Multiple nodes having the same ROAM_REFS?

[krisbalintona]

Hi,

Currently, we have three hash tables related to the ROAM_REFS property:

• org-mem--id<>roam-refs
• org-mem--roam-ref<>id
• org-mem--roam-ref<>type
  (Side note: the latter two have "roam-ref" in their name but the first has "roam-refs", plural.)

I was wondering what possibilities there are in the future to support letting multiple nodes have the same ROAM_REFS property. There is a similar issue for this feature in org-roam: org-roam/org-roam#2207).

If this were possible, then the packages that use org-node (e.g. citar-org-node) would be able to have multiple nodes associated as notes for the same bibliographic source.

So I suppose the question is two-fold:

1. Do we want this?
2. Is it worth implementing?

P.S. This isn't an urgent/important use-case for me, but I would consider it in my personal PKM/Zettelkasten "wish list."

I agree, it would make sense to allow multiple ids per ref.

(Side note: the latter two have "roam-ref" in their name but the first has "roam-refs", plural.)

As intended, since the value is a list of strings and not a single string :)
