Kebi et all Posting a clarification for future visitor to this thread.
Backlinks has both a plain language meaning and a specific one in Tiddlywiki (The result of the backlinks operator) Just keep in mind "[regexp:text<text-pattern-backlink>]" is not finding backlinks, you are finding tiddlers named in Square brackets, - although often they are backlinks, and in your example you use "[all[current]backlinks[]]" to get the current tiddlers backlinks. - but you will also get missing tiddlers as defined by [[tiddler name]] (Which are really backlinks only if the tiddlername exists) - you will not retrieve TiddlerName which becomes a link, and a backlink due to being camelCase (unless its in the currentTiddler) Also I expect Eric's solution does almost the same as your final answer.
