I am an IT guy coordination projects, deploying and managing servers on different clients. I use namespaces like this: :client:cA :client:cB :project:pA :project:pB :project:pC :server:sA :server:sB :server:sC :server:sD In the first lines of a :project:something page, I add a link to the client it corresponds to. For :server I add a link to the client and project it corresponds too. Now if I go to :client:cA I can check the backpanelinks to see whatever it is back linking to this client. I see the projects and servers (and everything else that has a link back to the client page). This is fine for quickly jumping around the notebook. But sometimes I need a textual list so I can add to a calc sheet or paste into an email. With my custom tool I am able to list only the servers that belong to a client or servers that belong to a client AND a specific project into a page where I can add notes and copy paste into an email or whatever. I actually also have a :client:cA:servers page where I can run my script and it, from the page path, interprets I want it to list :server:* that backlinks to :client:cA > For a custom tool it is OK, but for core functions in zim it is not.

Taking longer that I expected... :(
