This can be done by the feature called “Link to external file or document.” Here is an example of how to do it:
- Suppose your WhizFolder document is at the location “d:\my stuff\mydoc.wzfolder”
- Save your .mht file in the same folder (or make a subfolder within it to keep such files).
- In your WhizFolder document, start editor on the topic in which you want to put the file link.
- Leave the editor on and open the folder “d:\my stuff” in Windows Explorer. Keep both windows side by side.
- Select the .mht file in Explorer, and drag and drop on to the editor to drop a link.
- This will insert a link that can be used to open the attachment anytime. Moreover, the link will work even when you move the document along with such .mht files or the subfolders containing them. This way, you can keep links to attachments and your notes around them too.
- Put your detailed notes on this link in the same note or make a list of notes after that note. It is upto you. For example, when I start to study a new book, I keep a link to its PDF file this way and can open it quickly anytime to continue making notes while studying it.
Other ways to do the same thing:
- Instead of steps 4 and 5 above, you can even use the Insert menu to insert links to files and folders, even the attachment folder itself can be opened with a link.
- You can insert links in the same manner (both methods) in the topic list itself. The advantage is that you can just double-click on that note name in the topic list to open the attachment. You can even use list outlines to organize such links. In this case the first line of the topic that is created is automatically reserved for the document path and your notes can follow in the rest of the topic.
