Fully transclude backlinks

@Fovea it won’t get unruly to show nested bullets, if the default behavior is that the bullets are folded (similar to Roam).

But visual details aside, the more important point is how to get more out of bi directional links.

If you are in a note and can see in which context is it referenced in other notes, just by looking at the backlinks section, that would be a great advantage and as Conan said in his Roam Whitepaper, it will allow serendepity to blossom. (Currently the UX mandates that you go into each of the notes, to see in which context that note / concept is referenced).

@Silver @Licat I did some prototyping in python, by parsing markdown files and creating trees out of them and map to identify which nodes have a particular link.
Seems possible to actually implement this kind of thing in production and then get contextual backlinks out of it.
Worth a try…
