Show list of notes linking to the selected note

I like the idea behind the Connections list, but often what I need more is having a list of notes that link to the selected note. There's any number of ways this could work:

- A "Linked from…" section at the bottom of each note- Same, but on the left-hand side with a third button added next to Search and Connections- Marking those notes in the Connections list and/or listing them at the top

I'd prefer the first one since that's what I've been doing manually for some of my notes, but any of these would help. Thanks for considering.

  Thanks for the suggestion.  We'll consider it for a future update.

  Apologies, just posted same request a few days ago in a different thread - didn't see this initially as I was searching for backlinks bi-directional links in the forum. Definitely a useful feature. Connections seems useful for discovery based on content, but making links means you explicitly want a connection between the notes so would be great to be able to see that relationship.

  I think this would be a good idea. It seems to have been a "jump" in the evolution of note-apps these days and backlinking is at the core of the new ones. People also seem to be more knowledgable on what makes a good note system, methods and so forth..Roam and Obsidian as the most prominent, both having downsides such as web-based (roam) and electron-based (Obsidian). nvUltra could be the first, native, note app with backlinking. I think that would make nvUltra stand out.
