I got in touch with one of the devs of labyrinth and will check what work
needed to integrate between the two in the next week or two.

I can think of two ways to integrate:

1/ Add a "Insert mindmap" plugin to zim which embeds a mindmap in a page,
editable with labyrinth

2/ Add a "link to zim notebook" option into labyrinth and have a way to link
mind map nodes to zim pages (so clicking a node opens the page in zim)

Having both would be even better, so integrated widget in zim that also has
clickable nodes to go to other pages (e.g. namespace below page that has the
widget)

Any ideas are welcome, but probably first proof of concept will be pretty
basic.
