Is there any way to include links to other objects in something like a
plain text or diary file?

Part of my work includes making a log of what I did that day, and I'd
like to occasionally reference things that I get in my mail like word
docs or image files. I did a cursory search on emacswiki, but this is
one of those things where you get a zillion hits because of words like
'image link text file'. :P

I've just been making my logs in diary files; is there a better way?
I've looked into planner a bit, but it seems a bit heavy for my
purposes.

Thanks,

JS

Take a look again. This will be my advice for a solution. What is
hard?

Linkd seems perfect for your purposes. The nice thing is that it is a
minor mode so you can insert links inside your source files, etc.

Emacs 22 is required.

Cheers,

Nothing's hard, I just feel that it's more than I need. I just want a
diary entry, which amounts to a date and some text describing my day.
I'm not trying to plan anything, so planner is like an extra-heavy
text file at that point. I'll take a look at it again later when I
have more time and inclination.

Thanks, though. :)

You could use Muse mode or org mode.  Both of these have facilities for
creating links to other files, web pages, and the like.  

emacswiki information:

 muse mode :: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/EmacsMuse
 org mode :: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/OrgMode
