1. Put the cursor on a line that starts with ":link:"  If it's not on such 
a line, nothing will happen.
2. Hit the shortcut key.  I am using Alt+F6.
3. The selection point jumps to the node with that ID. 
4. If the target node does not include a :link: back to the starting point, 
one is inserted.

So this gives us automatic backlinks.  No plugins required.
