Backlinks / bi-directional links

Would you consider building in a "backlink" or "bi-directional link" feature to display a list of notes in the sidebar that have links to the active note?

The below forum post was helpful for understanding the "connections" feature, which seems like a very interesting way to discover relatedness.

backlinks would be a nice complimentary feature that prioritizes intentional/explicit relationships you made between notes vs implicit relationships in the "connections" feature

I've used backlinks in some other new beta applications and they have been a very useful way to rediscover connections you've made. After using them, it feels obvious that links between notes should allow visibility from both sides.

A number of incumbents in the notes space have been working to include these as users become more familiar with the concept.
