bio.tools cards should display reverse relationships #484

Feature request from entering the Workflow4Metabolomics bio.tools entry with @lecorguille: https://bio.tools/workflow4metabolomics This entry "uses" other preexisting entries such as https://bio.tools/xcms. However, what we would expect is that the https://bio.tools/xcms entry would automatically provide the reverse usedBy link to https://bio.tools/workflow4metabolomics.

@hansioan do you think this would be possible?

@hmenager It is not possible at the moment to do this automatically, but bio.tools does support reverse relationships. The tool https://bio.tools/xcms can also be annotated with the usedBy

It would be nice to have this in the future, but given that there are solutions to achieve this (granted not automatically), it won't be a big priority at the moment. On the other hand we are open to pull requests that can provide such a feature.
