FR: Display backlinks of a location note

Open HEmile opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Really loving the plugin so far! Here's one use case I'd think would be very useful for me: Alongside a location note (one with a location in the YAML frontmatter, ie a note that represents a certain location), I would like to visually see what other notes talk about this.

For instance, if I have a daily note [[27-06-2021]] which says I want to [[Fantastic burger restaurant]], one could display this by a small graph of all backlinks (incoming links) of [[Fantastic burger restaurant]]. Whether to draw this small graph could possibly be limited by zoom level, or in the context menu of the location note.

Nice mesh of the map and graph views. But do you think it makes sense to actually display it on the map (given that those related notes don't have locations of their own, so they'll need to be displayed "around" the relevant location)? Perhaps it would make more sense to display a mini-graph when hovering on a map marker, or show the actual graph view in a linked pane?

I was thinking of something like this! Showing the graph view or the backlinks pane in a linked pane is also a cool idea, that would work well for me.

Another related idea to this would be the ability to "see the map of a note". So the ability to see all the locations highlighted on the map that are mentioned in a note!

Now that I completed the Presets functionality, more useful filters such as "all the locations within a specific note" are definitely in my shortlist.
