Problem statement
The Knowhere Notebook Assistant currently appends source links at the end of each response. Within the response body, referenced chunks are represented only as plain text placeholders (e.g., [Source 1], [Source 2]), which carry no navigational value — users cannot click them to jump to the relevant chunk, and they provide no visual indication of what document is being cited.
This creates a friction-heavy reading experience:
- Users must cross-reference between the response body and the source list at the bottom to understand what evidence supports each claim
- The plain-text citation markers are visually noisy but functionally useless — they occupy space without enabling any action
- For long responses with multiple sources, the disconnect between inline mentions and the appended link list makes it difficult to trace specific statements back to their source chunks
- The current pattern discourages source verification, which undermines trust in the assistant's answers

Proposed solution
Replace the plain-text inline source markers in the response body with clickable source chips, and remove the redundant source link list at the bottom of each answer.
Chip behavior and design spec:
-
Each chip uses the existing Figma Chip component (no icon variant) as the visual primitive
-
Chip label displays the document filename (e.g., spacex_s1_p1-136.pdf)
-
Chip max-width is 250px; labels exceeding this width are truncated with an ellipsis (…)
-
On hover: chip background highlights, cursor changes to pointer (cursor: pointer), and a Figma Tooltip component appears showing the full, untruncated source label
-
On click: navigates directly to the corresponding parsed chunk in the Playground viewer
