Linked Objects: consistent linking across every record
We've unified how you link things in Simple Product. Every object detail view — Docs, Cards, People, and Organizations — now has the same Linked Objects surface with the same seven sections in the same order:
Cards · Docs · Releases · Skills · People · Organizations · Feedback
The chrome around it stays different where it should (a card is a slide-out, a doc has a right rail, People and Orgs have their properties column on the left). But the linking surface inside all of them is one consistent thing.
What this means for you
Link anything to anything, everywhere. The link flow is now identical from every record:
- Open any record — a doc, a card, a person, an org.
- Find the object type you want to link to (Cards, People, Skills, whatever).
- Search and link an existing one, or create a new one on the spot.
No more remembering which page has which linking options where.
Same-type linking is now real. You can link:
- Doc to Doc — tie a feedback item to the spec it produced, or a release note to its design doc.
- Card to Card — block/blocked-by, follow-up work, related epics.
- Person to Person — peer relationships, referrals, decision-maker + champion pairs.
- Org to Org — parent / subsidiary, partner, competitor.
Doc-to-doc and card-to-card were technically possible before but had no UI to reach them. Person-to-person and org-to-org are brand new.
Info block on docs and cards
Docs and cards now show a compact info block in the sidebar:
- Created by (hover for the author's email)
- Created (date)
- Last updated (date — hover for the editor's email)
Small, but grounds every record with the "who and when" without cluttering the main content.
Section caps: 5 with "Show all"
Each linked-objects section shows the first 5 items with a Show all N button. Expanding caps at 50, with a Show less to collapse back. Keeps the sidebar scannable even when a single card has dozens of linked things.
