I'm not quite sure how to word this so, please, bare with me. Basically, I have a templated tiddly that describes a person (I think I got this from Cardo, but I can't remember). This template allows me to fill-in the person's name, email, address, various notes, etc etc.

I may, from time to time, reference a person (say, "John Smith") in another Tiddly (meeting notes, for example) as an internal link. Is there any way to have a section on that person's Tiddly that displays a list of all the Tiddlys that made a reference to it?

Say, in Journal#1 I have a note like so: 

[[John|John Smith]] gave a great presentation today!


And then in the John Smith Tiddly I would have a section, let's call it "Mentioned in", that auto-populates:

Mentioned in:

- [[Journal#1]]


It's almost like a Table of Contents, but not quite. I'm not sure TW5 has this functionality (I'm sure it's buildable), but I thought I'd ask.

If you are just starting out or looking for a ready made one this might interest you
