  * Being able to edit text within backlinks of a note makes it super easy to make small edits to references to a page

  "Allow editing of text in backlinks of a note like in Roam" (suggested by Victor on 2021-01-11), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

  Upvoted. I'd like to be able to check tasks as complete from backlinks (and then differentiate them as complete).

  The more I use backlinks the more useful I think this would be. It would be great if this could coincide with being able to differentiate complete and uncomplete tasks from the backlinks section.

  First step should be to see the correct state of a linked task to a note. I often link task to [[@peoplename]] to see what I need to talk about with them but it shows all task unchecked even if it is done.

  Totally agree, for me it would be the most useful new feature

  This would be huge. I would use this to create a meeting agenda for a specific person — all tasks tagged @JohnSmith across all notes would generate my meeting agenda list, which I could then check off from the back links tab.

  Similarly, it would be great to be able to embed an editable note and/or its backlinks into a note.

  Great time saver for all who work a lot with backlinks

  One gotcha I hope this takes into account is that right now it seems like when you complete a subtask of something that's backlinked, it disappears as a child of that backlinked task. E.g.,:
  
  Some Note
  
  ---
  Backlinks
  
  Some task [[Some Note
  - child task
  
  ^ the child task only shows up in Some Note's Backlinks until you complete it (or until you complete Some task) :(
