Background: In recent years, I was mostly on a Mac and mostly used Tinderbox. Over the last year, I've been on a PC and was using the new Roam Research app. However, it just wasn't powerful enough, and I am now very much enjoying getting back into the wonderfully powerful InfoQube, which has come a long way! However, one of the features I really miss from Roam is backlinks. Hence, my question:
 
I don't have much experience with SQL, but I am wondering if there would be a way to use an SQL query to generate backlinks (or rather, a list of "what links here"). Say I have an item called "MyItem". My thought is to create a field that gathers (in a pop-up list) the item names of all items which contain MyItem's IDItem #. This should generate a list of "what links here" (with a few false positives), since the raw text of a link will always include the IDItem # of the destination item.
 
Would such a query be possible? And if not, is there some other way to create a list of "what links here"?

Hi Lucas,
 
Welcome back. Yes IQ has progressed, with the help of this community !
 
Backlinks are very much trendy and we're looking how to best fit this in IQ's overall philosophy.
 
Checkout this recent post: Links pane anyone ?
