Hello!
I love Obsidian's “Backlinks” feature, which displays a list of notes on the side of the screen that can be linked or are linked.

When you enter a word and a note exists with the name of the word you entered, Obsidian automatically suggests linking that note to the word. This will convert the word into a Markdown link to the corresponding note. Click on it to jump to the linked note. You can also see in a list which notes are already linked to the note you are currently editing.

This also works the other way around:
If you create a new note, for example with the name “Nextcloud”, you will see a list of all notes that contain the word “Nextcloud”. By clicking on the corresponding entry in the list you can link the respective word to the note you have just created.

In addition, a graphical view could automatically be generated from these links, showing the relationships between notes as a point cloud. The more notes linked to a single note, the thicker the point. This is a great feature, for example for building a knowledge database or streamlining extensive note collections.
