Allow links/backlinks in filter

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

Allow users to search and filter links regardless of its connection nature - relation or link, backlink or link to.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

  1. Make backlinks and links available for filter
  2. Allow backlinks and links to be treated equally

REAL WORLD USE CASES

  • When user just want to find objects that are connected to another object
  • For example, this would help find everything connected to Philosophy, when on one object Philosophy is in the Core relation; for another object, it is in the Theme relation; in a third object, it is a text link.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Current alternative, look at local/graph view to see everything linked to that object; but then user will have to click and open every object to edit the contents, rather than in structure format supported by set/collection.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

It would be nice to be able to filter unlinked mentions as well (equally with links, backlinks and relations). Unlinked Mentions & Aliases for Objects

You can add it into filter, if you add these relations to the set.

Right.. I suppose so, but not as one single relation - as it is not possible to not prioritise backlinks over links or the other way round.

I will mark as implemented but then please have the following feature request with set/collection update.. :folded_hands:

We do not have OR filters yet, they are in development.
