Mentions & Backlinks are the two directions of a single link in 📝MythOS Linking & Tagging — a mention is the connection you draw from one memo to another, and a backlink is that same connection seen from the other end. Together they turn isolated notes into a navigable web you can walk in either direction. It's the core of how a library compounds in value as it grows.
How It Works
A mention is a forward link. Type @, search your library, and insert a chip that points at another memo; the chip carries a live title and a hover preview, so a reader sees what's on the other side without leaving the page. You can give any mention its own display text without changing where it points.
A backlink is that same edge read backwards. Every mention MythOS records becomes a backlink on the memo it points to, so each memo quietly accumulates a list of everything that references it — with no manual upkeep. Backlinks are private working context, shown only to a memo's creator and collaborators.
Because every mention feeds both directions at once, your library builds its own link graph as you write. That graph is what powers backlinks, related-memo suggestions, and the connections view — all downstream of the simple act of typing @.
Features
- 📝Mention — the
@typeahead that links one memo to another, with previews and create-on-mention - 📝Backlinks — the reverse index of every memo that mentions the one you're reading
Getting Started
Type @ and a few letters of a memo's title anywhere in the editor, then pick a result — or choose + Create New to make a fresh memo on the spot. To see what points back, open any memo you own and expand its Backlinks section beneath the content.
