backlinks

[Steven Schneider]

Hi folks,

I'm using the backlinks operator, and find this in the documentation:

"backlinks[] gives all tiddlers that have links to the input tiddler"

* To clarify, does "links" mean text in the text field that is either CamelCase or [[bracketed]] that matches the title field of the current tiddler?

* Is there a way to instruct backlinks to search for links in field other than the text field?

Thanks!

A quick test shows that it does look for camel case links.

My guess is that it can't search anything other than the text field. What is the use case where you want to search some other field?

It finds CamelCase and [[links like this]] as you found out.

This would be a plugin.

You may have a look at my: uni-links plugin, which also allows "aliases" ... But be aware it is beta atm. ... But feedback would be very welcome!
