Move backlinks from sidepanel into the document section (as in Roam)

Just tweaked @mrjackphil original code to include buttons from the backlinks panel, since they are useful to me:

(function() {
	const backlinks = document.querySelector('div[data-type="backlink"] > .view-content')
	const doc = document.querySelector('.mod-root .CodeMirror-lines');

    backlinks.setAttribute("style", "margin-top: 50px;");

	doc.appendChild(backlinks);
})()

This is the end result of my editor panel (using the “clutter free markdown” custom css altogether):

2880×1800 369 KB

I’m close to the perfect setup for my personal use case. The only thing missing is more/better context for backlinks but I can totally live with that.

As long as I have backlinks easily spottable, I don’t actually mind about the need to click on them to get context.

Next step is figure out how to make this piece of code run by itself :slight_smile:
