Abstract: A system and method of manipulating notes linked to data objects, and of manipulating the data objects. The method operates by displaying a note including one or more first sub-notes and one or more second sub-notes. The first sub-notes are linked to portions of a first data object associated with a first application. At least some of the first portions may be partially overlapping. The second sub-notes are linked to portions of a second data object associated with a second application. The second application is different from the first application. A request is received from a user viewing the note to display a portion of the first data object linked to a particular one of the first sub-notes. The first application is invoked, if the first application is not already invoked. The first application is caused to load the first data object and present the portion of the first data object linked to the particular one of the first sub-notes.
