I know @zef references Obsidian as the inspiration for the backlink syntax, but I’m wondering if there’s a similar feature to Obsidian’s [[display text | page name]] syntax? I use that feature frequently in Obsidian, but I’m in the process of moving to Silverbullet, because it kicks Obsidian’s snooty bloated tooshie…
Yes, and it’s exactly the same as Obsidan I’m sure (I remember checking how it works there when I implemented it): [[page name|alias to display]] (so the reverse of what you suggest).

Lol! That explains it. I was trying the other way around!
Ok, on that same subject, is there a way to create dynamic links? For example, if you had a page named today’s date, you can’t do [[ ${date.today()} ]], but is there an equivalent without a full blown query?
${"[[" .. date.today() .. "]]"} should work.
Nit, but wouldn’t this be a forward link (or just a “link”)? I thought backlinks are what the note taking system does for you. “Linked references” in the SB world.
