AI Data Linking Summary

Summary

This Markdown pattern shows how to create an annotated summary that links directly to detailed items in a list.

It works by giving each list item a unique HTML anchor ID (<a id="..."></a>) and then referencing those IDs in the summary with clickable links.

The result is a compact, easy-to-scan summary where readers can jump straight to the full details of any item — useful for documentation, research notes, meeting summaries, or AI-generated outlines.

Prompt

Can you give me a list of 20 things and then summarize those 20 things in 3 sentences but links back to each of the 20 items in your summary as annotations?

Example List

  1. Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight.
  2. Wind turbines convert wind energy into mechanical power.
  3. Hydroelectric dams produce power from flowing water.
  4. Geothermal plants use Earth's heat to generate electricity.
  5. Biomass energy comes from organic materials like wood and waste.
  6. Battery storage systems keep excess energy for later use.
  7. Smart grids improve energy distribution efficiency.
  8. Electric vehicles reduce fossil fuel dependence.
  9. Heat pumps move heat efficiently for heating and cooling.
  10. LED lighting is more efficient than incandescent bulbs.
  11. Insulation reduces heating and cooling costs.
  12. Low-flow fixtures conserve water.
  13. Solar water heaters use sunlight to heat water.
  14. Energy-efficient appliances consume less power.
  15. Public transit reduces per-capita emissions.
  16. Urban tree planting lowers city temperatures.
  17. Building retrofits improve older structures' efficiency.
  18. Carbon capture technology traps CO₂ before it reaches the atmosphere.
  19. Wave energy captures the power of ocean waves.
  20. Microgrids allow localized power generation and storage.
