Enhanced Backlinks with Thumbnails Using Media Viewer

[salmon]

I’ve been experimenting with ways to make backlinks more visually accessible. Since the Media Viewer plugin can display both images and note links, I’ve combined it with Dataview to create a card-based display of backlinks, complete with thumbnails. Here’s the effect:

Required Plugins:

• Dataview
• Media Viewer

```dataviewjs
const currentPage = dv.current();
const pages = dv.pages().where(p => p.file.outlinks.includes(currentPage.file.link));
let data = pages.map(page => [
	page.file.name,
	page.file.mtime
]).sort((a, b) => dv.date(b[1]) - dv.date(a[1]));
dv.span(`\`\`\`gallery\n
	title: Backlinks
	pagination: 4\n
	${data.map(row => `[[${row[0]}]]`).join("\n")}\n
	\`\`\``);
```

Explanation:

• pagination: 4: This parameter controls how many note links are displayed per page.

On This Day:

```dataviewjs
const today = new Date();
let data = dv.pages()
	.where(p => {
		const pageDate = new Date(p.date);
		return pageDate.getMonth() === today.getMonth() && 
			   pageDate.getDate() === today.getDate();
	})
	.sort(p => p.file.mtime, 'desc')
	.map(p => p.file.name);
dv.span(`\`\`\`gallery\n
	title: On This Day\n
	pagination: 4\n
	${data.map(row => `[[${row}]]`).join("\n")}\n
	\`\`\``);
```
