Ok, the "backlinks" are implemented as a vertical menu list (build on
runtime from the AutoNav macro).

You can see the mechanism e.g. based on this page:

I tend to implement this as a 'classical' left-side vertical navigation
menu.

something like a dynamic TracNav (to speak in context of existent
solutions).

ok, the navigation history could then go to the "histnav" (context-nav,
left - what I call "backnav" currently).

this would solve the 'conflict'.

backlinks, histnav, and classic-navigation-menu

again, any commenst and suggestions welcome.
