# @ Mentions

> Reference blocks by name without drawing connection lines

## Overview

Reference other blocks by name within any block using @ mentions, no explicit connections needed. Type @ followed by a block or frame name to create a reference, making it easy to link ideas across your workspace without cluttering your canvas with connection lines.

This allows targeted context pulling without requiring a direct connection on the canvas. Perfect for creating cross-references, building on previous work, or maintaining relationships between distant blocks.

## How to Use

1. **Type @ in any block**: Start typing @ followed by the name of a block or frame on your canvas
2. **Select from the dropdown**: Choose the block or frame you want to reference from the autocomplete suggestions
3. **Reference without connections**: The referenced block's content is automatically included in your prompt without needing to draw connection lines
4. **Use across your workspace**: Reference blocks from anywhere on your canvas, even if they're far apart

## Use Cases

* **Cross-references**: Link related ideas without visual clutter
* **Build on previous work**: Reference earlier blocks in new prompts
* **Maintain relationships**: Keep connections between distant blocks without drawing lines
