Indicate when backlinks are present #163

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It is already pretty convenient in Obisidan to link dates like as - [ ] do something on [[2021-05-05]] or Studying at Uni from [[2020-01-01]] to [[2022-01-01]]. Currently, the calendar view doesn't show such links in any way, so it's not possible to look at these events at a glance.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be great to add another dot with a different style or color for dates that have backlinks. Even better if it is somehow possible to indicate the number of backlinks, but I doubt there is enough space available.

Describe alternatives you've considered Of course, one can just open the daily note and look into the backlinks panel. However, this only works for dates with already existing notes and not e.g. with future dates, and also doesn't provide a general overview.

This will be possible in the next feature release of Calendar. By default it will show in the new hover menu -

But you'll optionally be able to show an indicator on the day itself.

Nice to hear it's already on the way! Thank you.

Awesome! Yeah, my DNP is essentially blank with a lot of backlinks from whatever I'm working on to that DNP, so seeing dots based on that is more useful to me.
