Backlink

I need backlink function. 

It would be nice if NoteA would provide somewhere (maybe in the Info menu) a list of all the Notes that contain a reference to the current Note (a BackLink list).

I can see why that would be useful but you can just search for the exact name of NoteA and it will return all the notes that contain that text string (including NoteA). If you have a habit of changing the text of the link or changing the name of NoteA after it has been linked then this will not work.

Yes, that is my practice - often changing the text of the link

Sadly a search for the actual link (evernote:///....) doesn't work.

Right, the link url is hidden in the underlying html code

As part of my backups, I maintain a full export of my data in html format   
I can search that data for the actual link (evernote:///....)
