Mh... I'm an org-roam (org-mode/Emacs) user, witch have a similar feature and... I find such visualization honestly sugar-eye and useless.

Network analysis of notes links is fascinating, but must be actionable in some way, just having a UI means nothing. Also most noting tools miserably fails to really offer "easy atomic notes that can be combined (transcluded) and splitted as the user wish", some try structured ways (SPARQL/fixed formats alike) others try to offer some loose feature set to make anything possible but a real solution is still decades of development away IMO.

So far the best, witch means least worse, way I found to really analyze my notes is using org-mode drawers with relevant templates help for consistency to be queried via org-ql, witch means essentially key-value structured tagging of notes so I can see them in a timeline, I can see all notes about a URL, an author, a subject, a topic, ... unfortunately is a manual tedious process and at runtime is not that fast nor flexible.

Long story shorts vast approaches like Wikidata, classic libraries cataloguing techniques & tools, modern/old notes and relevant tools all work to a certain extent and fails thereafter.
