Describe the feature you'd like

Similar to the references page. It would be nice to have a "links to" page which shows a summary page of all links to other pages or even Books, Shelves or Chapters in some cases.

The "links to" page will be listed right under "Referenced on" in the to right sidebar.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This will make it easier to follow guides and give a "summary" off all relevant pages to an article

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Not to my knowledge

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

6 months to 1 year

Additional context

No response

Hi @Aresime,
In regards to the provided benefit:

This will make it easier to follow guides and give a "summary" off all relevant pages to an article

Can you explain how such a links summary list would accomplish this benefit? How does it make things easier?
I'd have though it fairly redundant since the links would already be there in the current view.

Hi,
At least the way I use wikis, this may differ form person to person, but I create a lot of links and references to other pages. Sometimes when I have read a page once, I may look for a specific link in that page another time. This will make it easer to find.

Also if I am creating a page related to one specific application I may want to link to other services closely related to that service. This feature will then help to create a overview of closely related services.

I used to use Obsidian.md a lot, and I know I used this plugin there.
