Using manual backlinks generates generates backlinks in all the referenced notes #5

Using manual backlinks generates generates backlinks in all the referenced notes. Is this the desired behavior?

This is similar to a previous issue regarding the Note Overview plugin that was already handled.

Perhaps an idea would be to use a flag simiar to <!-- backlinks-ignore --> to ignore sections of a note?

Thanks again for this great plugin

Could you elaborate a bit? Manual inserts all backlinks into active note except of those who have <!-- backlinks-ignore --> or are in the ignore list (Tools->Backlinks ignore). Automatic shows on every note and also hides links like in manual method.

Do you want backlinks section not being shown in specific note and have this section in all other notes?

Say you have A.md and B.md with a link to C.md. If you insert backlinks manually in C.md, it creates a Backlink section with a link to A.md and B.md. This now makes C.md appear as a backlink in A.md and B.md. I was wondering if there was a way to prevent this.
