[FEATURE] GalNet Inter-Article Hyperlinks?

My work and travel keeps me away from Elite: Dangerous for long periods of time, and I lose out on not only gameplay, but I also don't get time to check the GalNet News feed for long stretches.

The lore is fantastic, and I'm loving the stories that are developing, but I find it difficult when an article refers to an event that occurred in the past with little reference, and I struggle to go back and read far enough to make sense of all of them.

Would it be possible to add Wiki-style hyperlinks into previous articles that can inform or remind us of events in the past? I'm imagining there is a similar database of fiction that is being referenced as you develop the content, so building articles that can reference each other would make a lot of sense and make the history of Elite: Dangerous, especially for newcomers, much more manageable.

The article database right now is fairly small and the story is just now getting a bit complex, so I'm starting to get lost. The "search by date" doesn't really help me when I'm trying to understand some back story.

Cheers, and thanks for your understanding!

I would like this as well, or possibly an Galnet app where we could keep up with the in-game lore while we are away.
 
They're adding links to Galnet in 1.3. Not comprehensive ones but so far, but it does bring up the PP screen for a figure or open the map to the place of interest.
 
Past Galnet articles might not be enough - this would also require "general" information, wiki-style.

Would be really good to have it in-game, tbh.
 
Guild Wars 2 has a /wiki command for the chat box...of Fdev would add this then, to look up information, just call up the chat /wiki Empire would bring you to the empire page on the wiki
