How are notes linked into the records they are assigned to? There doesn't seem to be any lookup field or link between them and anything else?

Good article Priyadarshi,
We can use below query to fetch Annotation data based on Custom Entity/ Out of box entity.
* join Filterednew_EntityName A on Annotation.ObjectId = A.new_EntityNameId
Annotation STORE data based on Object type code and Objectid.
Objecttypecode explain entity type like account,case,etc. In below ex Annotation is created for case(objectype code:112) and in objectid it storing case id.
AnnotationId |
ObjectTypeCode |
ObjectId |
Subject |
IsDocument |
NoteText |

Frang,
Note and object Id basically has relationship, if you go to the Note entity, then find the N:1 Relationship, you can have plenty of list.
Then if you create an entity, you check the Note capability to Yes (tick it), then it will auto create the relationship.
"However, you can associate annotations with only those custom entities that are created with the HasNotes property set to true. You can update a custom entity, which is not enabled for notes, to have notes by setting the HasNotes property to true."
While, the field that stored the relationship is RegardingObjectId (Object Id), means primary entity id related, that can link to any entity with Note-setting enable.
To get the GUID I think you need to export it out and then tick the make as re-import feature.
Or you can use OData Query or PowerQuery in Excel or SQL Query if you are onpremise user.
Thanks.
You will not get GUID's of lookup from advanced find.
but you will related entity details..
e.g. You have some notes attached to account,contact and some other entities, and you want to find out which note is attached to which entity using advanced find.
To get this information in advanced find you need to add Regarding(account) or similar entity columns then you will get notes and related entity.
But if you want guid of record from advanced find, then it is not possible.
Hope this will give some idea.
Is there any way of getting the GUIDs of the lookup on an advanced find rather than just the topic or description?
In MS CRM notes are stored in Annotation entity.
When you enable notes for any custom entity, then one 1:N relationship will be created between custom entity and Annotation entity.
This link / relationship is always tided together with Regarding (ObjectId) field.
For CRM native entities, this relationship is already created.
Here is more details on Notes /Annotation entity.
