* Zettelkasten for Org

[[https://zettelkasten.de/][Zettelkasten]] is a note-taking technique designed to keep, and create new links
between all the notes as they are written. This allows them to develop over
time, link to various different topics and allow the notes to grow into a
network over time. This helps draw connections between different fields.

The idea of this mode is to integrate fully into Emacs Org mode, trying to
leverage most of its preexisting features.
