Will get this right before releasing v2. Might use a self-written version of org-capture.

Yes.

Queries will need to be rewritten to match the new schema. Links to headlines WITH IDS (nodes) can be displayed in the graph.

You’re free to try the V2 branch, which should work with knowledge bases that already use UUIDs. At this time I think the backlinks buffer is much more functional already. But there aren’t any docs yet, so it might be a bit difficult to get started. I’ll send a note here when I think it’s ready for public testing.
