Embed dynamic base view into existing note to pull related notes

Hello new Obsidian user and first time forum poster. Going to try to articulate what I’m trying to do so please bear with me.

I create dedicate notes for a given topic. To keep it simple let’s say the topic is a TV show where one note might be for Squid Game and another note might be for Yellowstone.

I create separate notes to store questions related to a given topic going with the approach of 1 note per question. Each note is tagged as #Question and I put a custom “Topic” property in where I create an internal link back to the related TV show ([[Andor]] or [[Yellowstone]].

Is there a way to embed a view into the Andor or Yellowstone page where I can dynamically pull all the questions related to that show?

From discussions I’ve seen on Discord I’m pretty sure the answer is yes (but I don’t know Bases well enough to give you the details, sorry).

You could also do this outside of Bases by using Backlinks. By default they appear in the sidebar but in Settings > Backlinks you can make them appear at the bottom of notes. Backlinks shows all notes that link to the current note, but it has a search box to filter that list. You could put tag:question in the search box. If there are question notes that link to the note but not in the Topic property, then this won’t work as well.
