[image] Backlinks To use Joplin as a knowledge base it would be useful to have a “what links here”? This is an interesting question, and yes, I think that backlinks are important. Apps like NVAlt , Roam Research and Zettler use a double block to crosslink notes, perhaps hints at a consensus of…

This Would Be great and the zettelkasten editor called obsidian .md was mad e by two people and wouldn’t be dfficult to implement so plwase do it

Great man this would be a deal breaker for me how do you implement this, i have no idea about what to do

Looking forward to seeing either version (ctrl-p/go-to-anything (in linux)) or [[; I'm considering migrating my notes from Zim to Joplin - I make extensive use of linking across notes in Zim, residing in multiple "sub notebooks", so drag & drop doesn't work and right-clicking to copy the link to the…

I'm also very much looking forward to this, especially with a backlink feature. Is there a road mop somewhere where feature requests / plugins could be upvoted?
