I like the idea of indexing the location, and think you should store them in the zeros. I’ve considered reserving a standard zero for this.

I’m about to [free up categories `01`-`09`](https://forum.johnnydecimal.com/t/rfc-the-standard-zeros-v2-0/2680/12) so you could use `01 Locations` and then give each of them an ID. Allowing you to link to them from a note like so:

# 28.01 Holidays

> Location: 01.13 Backup hard drive in the garage

– and now the backlinks at `01.13` will show you all the IDs that store a thing there.

This feels very graceful. I’ll do it for my own stuff as soon as I get time.
