  # Simple note linking examples
  Simplest case: creating links to an existing note or a new note is as easy as [typing the @ sign]()  followed by the title of the target note.
  
  
  How it looks to link to an existing note, or declaring a new note to link into. More animated examples at bottom of article.
  
  
  
  Creating a note link from midline context:
  
  
  
  
  If you want to insert a new link in the middle of a paragraph, make sure [the @ sign]()  comes before a whitespace character. This way, the note linking menu will prompt you for the title of the note to link to.
  
  Typing [@]()  right before a word will search for a note title containing that particular word.
  If you want to create a note link from multiple existing words, use [The phrase-linking hotkey (@ or [)](/help/double-bracket-note-link-syntax#The_phrase-linking_hotkey_(@_or__)) .
  In some instances, newly created notes will automatically be tagged. Read more about this mechanism here: [Control auto-tagging of newly linked notes](/help/control_auto_tagging_of_newly_linked_notes) . 
   
  ## Bonus tip: Drag-and-drop from the note list to create a reference
  When you want to create links to multiple notes, the fastest way to do so might be by dragging and dropping from the note list:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  This proves especially useful if you want to create "Index Notes". [What are "Index Notes, you ask?]()  
  
  # Note linking with tags
  Sometimes, when you are linking to a note, you want to apply tags to the linked note.
  
  ## Applying the current note's tags to the linked note
  If you create a new note link from within a note that contains tags, you can start your note link with the & character to designate that the tags in your current note should be applied to the note you are linking to. This can be very useful if you are creating a number of notes related to a specific project:
  
  
  By starting the note link with @&, the tag(s) from the current note will be applied upon pressing enter to complete the link
  
  
  ## Declaring a new tag hierarchy to apply to linked note
  It's always possible to simply link to a [@Juicy Topic]() , and this will create a blank new note called "Juicy Topic". But what if you live to see 10,000 juicy topics? What then? Maybe it's best to make a Vault Note and give it a specific tag, for example @vacations/spicy/Juicy Topic so you can find it later? Here's how it looks to generate a new note and tag hierarchy via express linking:
  
  
  Linking to a newly created note within the hierarchy
  
  
  You can jump into a newly linked reference using Ctrl-Space, and jump back to the previous note using Cmd-, on macOS or Ctrl-, on PC. You can also invoke the history menu with Cmd-g on macOS or Ctrl-g on PC.
  
  To add multiple tags while creating a note, separate the tags with a comma:
