List of all used internal links

Is it possible to run a report or find all internal links?

I am using Scrivener for study and have some legislation imported that I then link into my notes.

I would like to list all of the internal links used in my notes that link to the legislation.

The legislation is in the Research Binder.

You can cycle through all the links that are in your project using Edit/Find/Find by Formatting.

Choose whether to look through all of your documents, or through only the current editor content, if displaying your draft/manuscript folder as a scrivening.

Then, if you split the editor, you can copy them to a new document dedicated to that.

You may also want to set your option like this (unchecked) :

So this way you only have to drag the link (which the finder already has selected for you) from one document to your special “link list” document, without having anything else to do for the link to be pasted to that second document as a duplicate.
(Or else, hold the alt key when dragging, but if you have 50+ links, that’ll become painfully annoying.)

If you choose to copy them to your “Link list” document by drag and drop, a good trick : first add a big bunch of returns (empty lines) into that destination document, so that you can drag your links to it without having to create a new line each time.
That’ll speed up the process by at least 10x.

You can later use Edit/Text Tidying/Remove empty lines between paragraphs to clean it up.

In short, with your destination document on the right side and the finder set to find links in the left editor, all you have to do is start at the beginning of the first of your documents, then hit next, drag and drop, next, drag and drop, next, and so on and so on, 'til you are done.

P.S. I see you are running the Mac version, so likely there is also a way you could do it for all of your links in a single operation…
I am a Windows user, I’ll leave it at that.

P.S.2 That won’t differentiate where the links point to, no way to make it selective, but at least you’ll start off of a list of all your links. You can later sort it out. It’ll still be a huge step in the right direction. :wink:
