Backlinks

I know backlinks on pages do work when posts reference a page... But pages themselves aren't included in backlinks when they are linked to, whether from posts or other pages. Is there a way to enable it so pages are included in the backlink queries? I ask because I am putting my Zettelkasten into pages which is more suitable for that since I will be blogging on top of it. Thanks,. Ray

Your back links feature works well (at least in Magazine template) so the geek in me is curious how it works, how does Blot know there are existing links to a post? Does it scan the site or some internal database when a new post is generated?
