Inserting backlinks to the note #16

Hi Jack,

Is it possible to use the expander to include a list of notes linking to the note?

I have asked about it on the forum a couple of months ago, and it has been implemented in Obsidian Publish (LINKS TO THIS PAGE section under notes, e.g., here.)

I thought about that as a separate feature. For now as workaround you can expand something like {{CURRENT_NOTE_NAME]]}} or even add some regexp magic for more precise search.

Thank you.

That workaround requires typing the note's name manually. I was thinking of using espanso together with this plugin, or adding it to a template.

BTW, By separate, do you mean a feature for this plugin or a plugin on its own?

As a feature for this plugin. Like sequences instead of search requests {{$backlinks}} but it's not fully thought out.
