Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/2214

Description

Every time there is a link in PageA to PageB, automatically create a backlink in PageB to PageA

The link should be at the block level.
The page title name should automatically get updated in the backlink.
The link should have a type property, representing the relationship type or the weight of the link between two connected objects. This will not be used in v0.1.

This feature should be implemented as an editor plugin (auto-shown on a page that has a backlink), allowing future improvements on its functionality or creating alternative backlinks by the community.

Impact

Users who make connections between docs

Backlinks are, in my view, one of the most powerful features of apps like Notion and Obsidian. This is a must-have feature for me. I also don't see the ability to create a new page from /mention. That would be a huge efficiency bonus!
