In this issue you added possibility to add wiki-link to another page: https://github.com/arnau/obsidian-metatable/issues/3

But this links don't create backlink for linked page.

Is it possible to fix it?

I would love to do it but so far I haven't been able to find how to do it (the API documentation is hardly there).

I asked it discord:

Is this possible to add backlinks behavior without use links exactly in text? For example, I want add array of internal links to YAML and then I expect that ever added link will have backlink to this note. Have plugin API this possibility?

More example...

Now I need write links like that:

---
tags: [external/link]
---
# My Movies

https://www.imdb.com/user/ur82716768/

___
### Zero-Links
- [[00 Account]]
- [[00 Media]]

but I want write links like that:

---
tags: [external/link]
links: [00 Account, 00 Media]
---
# My Movies

https://www.imdb.com/user/ur82716768/

Can I do this with plugin?

and me answered @Licat#1607:

There's isn't a way to do that right now but it might be added in the future You could use comment blocks If you want it to not be seen %% comment %%
