Automatic backlinks?

What I’m trying to do

Hi, I’m new to Obsidian and I quite like the idea of using using file links to tag your notes, rather than actual tags. (credit to Odysseas on YT).

This allows me to have a folder full of these tag files, and each one of them serves as an index for finding all the notes related to the topic of that tag. For example, below is an example of a blank note on the book Atomic Habits.

I’m trying to make my tag files automatically add any new note that links to that file.
For example, if I make a new note on a book, say, “Atomic habits”, and I link the note to the tag “self improvement” which is a file in and of itself, I want the self improvement file to automatically add the Atomic Habits note to its index of notes related to that topic. I feel that i explained this better in this reddit post.

Things I have tried

Installed the dataview plugin upon recommendation from some reddit users, but not sure what to do from here as I am a complete obsidian beginner.
