FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: first application creates notes directly from a second application, while displaying a first target item of the second application. The notes are associated with the first target item by storing a link to the first target item with the note. Synchronisation operations are carried out to determine existence of associated notes between the first application and the second application, wherein the synchronisation operations involve restoration of missed or distorted links to the target items of the second application. Existence of a link to the first target item is determined using synchronisation operations. It is determined that the first target item is associated with a note based on the link to the first target item and pictograms of the visual indicator are displayed on the first target item in a first state, wherein the first state indicates that the note is associated with the first target item in accordance with said determination.
