This is of course one of the advantages of Roam in this regard. You can query, filter, and hide/show various aspects of your notes as desired. While not 100% fully formed yet in Roam, it is powerful. I personally use both pieces of software (Roam and Obsidian), yet I still feel at the most foundational level you should be curating your backlinks through “Related Notes” sections in each note (as you use the note and process it further). Backlinks are the beginning of discovery, but as the Zettelkasten system demonstrates, notes should be strung into linear pathways, not through backlinks, but through intentional linkages.
