Backlinks are currently just a list that you can't sort or filter. It would be great to make this section appear with custom or at least a choice of views (wall, gallery, list).

Steffen Bleher: I love this. Would it be possible to also allow us to sort and/or filter the backlinks in daily notes? That's the only place it's missing and it's a really great feature I'd love to see there too. Thanks.

I would like to be able to toggle pieces of information to be shown with the title of the page on the backlinks list, especially date of the note and page-level tags :) For example, I have meeting notes that are linked to a person I've met with, and when I visit the person's page it'd be great to see at a glance what date I had those meetings (without having to toggle them open).

Totally agree with this request. It would be incredibly useful for backlinks to use the same view/search/filter component as object databases. And I don't see why you wouldn't reuse this UI anywhere multiple objects are returned. A query is a query is a query (even if it's just backlinks), and you want to be able to visualize that multiple ways. Other apps I've used (Obsidian-Dataview, Tana) handle this well.
Steffen Bleher
Sam Baron: That's exactly what we have planned (probably coming with queries)

I think Roam Research is the best to take it as an example.

Filtering for specific tags would be really useful.

Filter would also be cool imo

We want to keep the backlink section simple, but I definitely see what you mean. We'll look into it.

I think it would be nice at least if backlinks could be gathered by entity type. E.g from an author’s page, see the list of his/her articles, then books, then interviews etc.
