"Documents & links we have aplenty, but where are our trails?"

I could visualize the entire internet & recent technologies like enterprise software that has made collaboration easier, but I can't properly imagine what "trails" might mean here. The term "trails" is quite ambiguous to me.

Have you ever been kind of idly thinking about a topic, catch yourself, and then (mentally) go back through your thought processes to see how you got to the end topic?

That is what I consider a (mental) "trail."
