List as unlinked mention only when not already in linked mentions

[nununo]

Use case or problem

If in page B there is already at least one link to page A and page A is mentioned more times in page B, page B will be shown both under Linked mentions and Unlinked mentions. This makes Unlinked mentions misleading and less useful.

It’s easier to show an example: in this example page A is “couscous”. Look at how all linked mentions show up in unlinked mentions just because the recipes repeat the word “couscous” several times:

Proposed solution

There should at least be an option to, if page B is already listed under Linked mentions, not list it under Unlinked mentions.

+1 to this. Enables you to build your vault Wikipedia-style, where a page only links to the first occurrence of a related page.

This would be helpful and make the count of unlinked mentions more useful/accurate.

would be really great to have. currently it’s a bit chaotic to find back-linked pages that are not already linked in the page itself.

is there any way to do this ? :((

Is there any activity on this thread?

I have the same request: seeing already linked documents in ‘unlinked mentions’ doesn’t make sense, in my opinion.

Also still keen on this so commenting and +1 to keep it active

I’m in serious need of a solution for this, so I’m +1 to keep it active.

Can this be achieved through a plugin?

I would also like this functionality, both for Outgoing Links to ignore subsequent mentions and for an automatic way to “move” a link to the first mention in a note.
