Thanks, @Mark : This works great in context of a single page... Also site-wide, in context of a small site where i've added to ViewTemplate per your suggestion. I would like to extend the latter case to a larger site with many links, but i should do some testing first, as i don't know what impact it will have on performance. I do however know that i've got a Stroll-themed wiki on my desktop that has some hundreds of content tiddler already with backlinks integrated, and performance hit is not (yet) an issue.
As to your Q about intent: It is to weave wiki with the quality of Intertwingularity <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertwingularity>, essentially. That was the quality that i found so compelling about Ward's Portland Pattern Repository <http://c2.com/ppr/> back in the day (well before Wikipedia appeared on the scene), where backlinks was for me an essential part of the experience -the only way i know how to preserve the context that is needed to make sense of linked content.
