The reading and writing system enhances free-form ink annotating and note taking by creating links between passages in response to free-form ink. The reading and writing system generates links between free-form ink anchors and also generates links between documents in different windows when a free-form ink stroke extends across window boundaries. The reading and writing system also removes a link when the free-form ink stroke representing the link is erased. The reading and writing system will display the ink anchors in a display showing all related linked anchors with their surrounding context when a corresponding link is selected.

The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining comprises:determining whether the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the first portion of the document is a free-form ink stroke around at least one first ink stroke;determining whether the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the at least one second portion of the at least one document is a free-form ink stroke around at least one second ink stroke;determining whether the at least one of a morphological characteristic and a spatial characteristic of the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the first portion of the document is a corresponding one of a morphological characteristic and a spatial characteristic of the at least one first ink stroke; anddetermining whether the at least one of a morphological characteristic and a spatial characteristic of t he at least one free-form ink stroke related to the at least one second portion of the at least one document is a corresponding one of a morphological characteristic and a spatial characteristic of the at least one second ink stroke. 10. The method of claim 9 the free-form ink stroke around the at least one first ink stroke being a circle and the free-form ink stroke around the at least one second ink stroke being a circle. 11. The method of claim 1, the number of the at least one free-form ink strokes being displayed being limited in accordance with a user preference. 12. A method of claim 1, further comprising:detecting a selection of a free-form ink stroke representing the link;removing the link corresponding to the free-form ink stroke; andmaintaining the first portion of the document and the at least one second portion of at least one document. 13. An electronic document system for providing multi-links from a first portion of a document to at least one second portion of at least one document, comprising:a processor that generates a first anchor that provides for multi-way links in the first portion of the document;a pen based input device that receives at least one free-form ink stroke, the pen based input device including a pen based display;the processor that generates a second anchor that provides for multi-way links in the at least one second portion of the at least one document,the processor that compares and determines if the first anchor and the second anchor have at least one of a morphological characteristic and a spatial characteristic of the at least one free-form ink stroke that is similar and if similar then;the processor generates a multi-way link from the first anchor of the first portion of the document to the second anchor of at least one second portion of the at least one document, the processor maintains the multi-way link from the first anchor of the first portion of the document to the second anchor of at least one second portion of the at least one document,wherein the display is responsive to the selection of the selectable link to display at least one free-form ink stroke related to the first portion of the document, the first portion of the document, the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the at least one second portion of the at least one document and the at least one second portion of the at least one document as annotations-in-context, andwherein the processor sorts by date of creation the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the first portion of the document and the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the at least one second portion of the at least one document and the display is responsive to a selection of the selectable link to display the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the first portion of the document and the at least one free-form ink stroke related to the at least one second portion of the at least one document in sorted order;wherein the processor generates a selectable link and the pen based display is responsive to a selection of the selectable link to display the at least one second portion of the at least one document. 14.
