Backlinks and forward links system relations

[gdbb]

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

The problem I met was that it needs lots of manual operations like selecting and clicking when I want to delete a huge amount of objects, especially they have the same father.

How to delete a object and its all children (linked) object

I’v been thinking that it would be great if every object have default relations which contain linking information. Like the navigation panel shows, objects have “Links to object” and “Links from object”, and the type of these two relations is Object.

It’s very useful for organizing object through sets, in which these two relations will reinforce the filters. e.g. in the case I mentioned above, it will easily filter all the children objects that have the same father, or list all the father objects of a specific object.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE

Add default relations of “Links to object” and “Links from object” to every object, like the navigation panel does.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

Reinforce the sets and filter.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Manually add or delete objects, but it takes a lot of time.

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

Delete multiple pages from Notion Import at once

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND

Implement two new system relations which would list either backlinked or linked objects depending on the relation.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

1. Users could find objects which are not linked to any other object by just filtering these two relations by empty.
2. With relative filters, users could implement custom backlinks trough templates.
3. There are probably a lot more of them.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Completely impossible currently. You can only check links through the graph or the flow menu.
