Backlinks (aka Incoming Links) revisited: DTTG

[cgrunenberg]

@gg378

@cgrunenberg indicated that a future update of DT will included a metadata field that contains backlinks. While this will likely still not work for DTTG users, it will be easy to write a script that copies the links from that field to a backlinks section in a markdown file.

It won’t be a (custom) metadata field but an extension of the Document > Links inspector instead. And of course it will be scriptable:

tell application id "DNtp"
	repeat with theRecord in (selection as list)
		repeat with theReference in incoming references of theRecord
			set theURL to reference URL of theReference
			...
		end repeat
	end repeat
end tell

A property for outgoing references will be available too of course.
