The problem...

Links are currently stored as pairs of note IDs, and only computed when a note is edited.
So when I reference a non-existing note and then create it, the link won't be inserted in the database until the original note is edited. The same thing happens when a note is renamed (In fact, note renaming doesn't update any link, so it's a really dumb feature that should maybe be removed).

How to reproduce:

1. Create a note A.
2. Edit note A and add a cross-reference to a note B which doesn't exist.
3. Create a note B.
4. Admire the absence of link A to B in the database.
5. Enjoy.

Potential fix:

Store names instead of IDs in the link table. However, it should be better to first refactor the way Links are stored in code.

Conclusion:

Good luck, future me.
