Got it. I've been trying to solve a similar problem as well. I also stumbled upon this Gatsby theme for such a scenario (https://github.com/aengusmcmillin/gatsby-theme-brain). It's inspired from Roam Research's bidirectional links to notes.

A script that smushed them all together would make them easier to browse and read and enable control+f search.

I use the same format, but I write everything in Tiddlywiki which has a search function.
