Powertoy: Double Hyperlink
Posted by anirudhsaraf on November 17, 2007
Double Hyperlink - What is it? It creates a new page, with the user specified title, pastes a hyperlink to the new page in the current page, and navigates to the new page where it puts the hyperlink from the current page :).
The default values i.e if you just click OK are
New Page Title = Blank
Hyperlink Text(new page) = Title of Current Page
Hyperlink Text(current page) = Extra Info
Known Issue :- I cannot figure out why OneNote starts the powertoy minimized. It’s a random thing, sometimes its starts on top and sometimes it is minimized. I have tried every trick I could think of to make it come up in center of OneNote. If anyone knows how to achieve this (C#) please do let me know, since I have been breaking my head over it 
Also not a single person, assuming there was one, left a comment saying whether the treeview control worked. If you download this powertoy I would appreciate some feedback.

UPDATE : Powertoy Released.
Thanks to onenotepowertoys poll for the idea.

I get this error during setup:
Use SYSTEM the previously initiated an install for product Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition ENU. That user will need to run that install again before they can use that product. Your current install will now continue.
Vista
UAC off
logged in as admin
admin acct enabled
Office 2007
VC# 2005 with SP1, .net FW 2.0
Also, I recommend changing setup to install for all users by default. Your mileage may vary, but a common complaint we get is “your addin works for me, but not for other users on the computer.”
Great work, though!

It’s a really great idea, and reminiscent of WikiWords, i.e., CamelCase instant links in wiki software. It would be neat if the powertoy could enable OneNote to detect when a particular character combination (i.e., a WikiWord or a word starting with some odd symbol) was input, then implement the same action you describe, titling the new page with the word that triggered the action.
