Hi Charlie

In Stroll (https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html) or Drift 
(https://akhater.github.io/drift/) the tiddlers have an area where 
backlinks show up. So if you follow a link, you can always get back to the 
previous tiddler by clicking a backlink. Drift also does the same for tags 
and keywords. These items only show up if the tiddlers exist. But what I am 
trying to say is that the links, etc, are a context area for the tiddler, 
to see all related tiddlers.
