Hmm... I still wasn't patient enough to find it. What should I write to 
"Goto URI" command?

Waiting for that, since I still don't even know what is that graph all 
about :) ...else than nice looking maze.

Well, I'm still heading for a tool for creating notes on lectures or from 
books, after I first buy that high-end Apple G5 Laptop. All relations 
I do myself _are_ relevant for me. Since mind mapping is above all a 
method for makin notes, I don't want to stop specifying exact property for 
each word I add. And what is difficult to implement, the 
spatiality matters. Probably later on the mind map could be modified to 
topic map by modifying properties more exact. Maybe this is an applitude 
problem.

So, on default the notepad applitude would use "unnamed" default 
properties. Those properties are also used to preserve spatial structure. 
If user wants to use more exact properties for some relations, 
the default properties are still used to show the structure, but the more 
exact one is used to name the relation... Well, just sketching. I don't 
know would this be for any good. Probably should first see such Loom views 
that shows bigger context.
