Open all back-linked files for editing

Use case or problem

I find that simultaneously opening every file connected to a MOC-like structure can be useful in consolidating information, generating insights, and building more complex and subtle evergreen notes. It would be convenient to simultaneously open all files back-linked to the current open file with a single hotkey.

Proposed solution

Implement an option to create a hotkey that opens all mentions (Linked, Unlinked, or both) in separate editing windows.

Current workaround (optional)

I pin the “reference” file window and Cmd + Click each file in the Backlinks pane.
