Fully transclude backlinks

I don’t if this response is most suitable here or automatic backlinking.

But as a person with who can identify as nerodivergent. I feel that the ability to “backlink to the original note” a link was made in" like in Roam, Athens, and others is not just a feature because “this is how I like things” but should be seen as a part of universal and/or inclusive design.

How is this the case, well for those who have challenges with working memory, processing speed, and other hinderinces as a result of ADD, ADHD, and other learning differences, “backlinking in this way” frees the mind, specifically working memory to be able to quickly trace back through one’s thinking. Not having to worry about where a note was placed, how you came to a particular idea, quickly copying and pasting the writings below a linked note into the linked note before one forgets, etc. In this way working memory is also unburden as it has less to munipulate and keep in mind for a short period of time.
I have found this to be the biggest hinderance in writing within Obsidian. Is my brain doesn’t trust the current backlinking structure to remind me of how my notes came to be or how they may be linked.

I have brought this up with @Licat, but also wanted to post here in case I haven’t already or haven’t been clear with my reasoning or usecase already.

Please do comment, or like if you have learning differences and irrespective of if you do or don’t if this makes sense and resonates with you! :slight_smile:

What I may be referring to is this: Auto-create new notes by linking to them and the above. Not sure anymore :wink:
