Add backlinks to the task tool-tip (in short mode)

[andrewmglaser]

I mostly hide backlinks to keep task lists easier to parse but would love to see the backlink in the task pop-up as I'll often have it open while editing a task date. For context, I keep tasks grouped in separate notes and use queries to consolidate them in notes.

Hi @andrewmglaser - thanks for the suggestion. It’s not something realistically likely to happen anytime soon, due to the volume of existing highly requested features.

However, I have documented how you can control the display of the backlinks in various ways, so that will be your best bet for now.

I hadn't thought to use CSS, this is quite helpful. Thank you @claremacrae
