Feature: Backlinks

[bodby]

Is your feature request related to a problem (not a bug)? Please describe. From what I can tell, there are no backlinks for notes; I have to manually add them.

The solution you'd like The ability to show backlinks either:

• At the bottom of the note.
• Using a function/command to detect them and add them as links into the current note.
• A special keymap that opens the link under the cursor and adds a backlink (preferred, easiest)

There should be the ability to set the links' preview names to the first alias (a YAML property I have in every note) or the first header rather than just the filename.

Alternative solutions you've considered Remembering to add a note to a MOC every time I add a tag to it, and the same with individual notes.

Additional context The ability to choose the first header or first YAML alias property in a file and set the preview text of the link would be to avoid unreadable backlinks like this:

Very sorry if you got multiple notifs or emails; I edited this like 5 times because it was completely unreadable.

Hi @bodby, thanks for the suggestion! I was playing around with Obsidian recently and noticed the backlinks feature, thinking it would be nice to implement it in mkdnflow. I don't have an immediate plan to implement it but would like to, so we'll keep this open to track it :)
