http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/referent

According to the above URL, a "referent" is "the object or event to
which a term or symbol refers".  For any given link, the "referent" is
the *destination* of the link.  The tiddler that is the *origin* of
that link would be more correctly termed a "referer" (i.e., an object
or event that refers to another object or event).

Thus, the menu item might be labeled "referers".  However, although it
is a proper word, I don't particularly care for it.  It seems awkward
and inarticulate in some way.  I think we should just stick with
"references"... it works just fine for most people.
