I am trying to replace default linked mentions functionality with hope that I can add it to some pages, and not others, and adjust it to my needs.
One of the adjustments I want to make is to display all backlinks pointing to children of a given page. For example, if I have a page called Company, and pages for Google and Meta; with Google and Meta having a property parent:[[Company]]. I would like to see all backlinks to both Google and Meta on the Company page.
Things I have tried
I have tried Search queries. I am a novice with those, and so far I got them working, but have not been able to even get linked mentions to display without unlinked mentions.
I have tried Bases. Bases does a great job of finding backlinks of files that link to a given file. However, with Bases I cannot find a way to display the content of the file. All I get is a list of files.
This can be remedied with the Feed Bases plugin, which is great. However, now the content that is displayed is that of the entire back link note, while the standard backlinks functionality is able to display only the relevant section of the note. Search also has the block: operator that would do the job if I could integrate it with Bases.
Any idea on how to solve this problem? Ideally it would be with the built in query functionality or bases. I prefer to avoid Dataview if I can.
