A feature for your consideration that we desperately need a listing of tagged pages (exactly like topic>) but limited to those pages that are linked to the current page. Essentially listing the backlinked pages, but filtered to only those pages with the listed tags.

Either as an option on topic> or a new keyword ( maybe linked> ).

We have hacked something together, but it is less than ideal.

Thoughts?

First I understood the question as:
{{topic>auto filtered by tag mentioned on your page}}
Proposal: {{topic>&currentpagetags}}, I guess a better name is possible.

But, you actual request is to filter that resulting list further, by only pages that link back to current page.
Proposal: {{topic>&currentpagetags&backlinksonly}}.

Before putting more effort in this, and also for deciding what syntax would be appropriate, I was wondering: how are you using this? Do you have an example to illustrate this a bit more?

We have a number of different types of pages - examples include Service Definition, Table Definitions, Screen Definitions. Each type is tagged accordingly.

Let's say I have a wiki page that describes a 'Customer', and I want to have a list of the Screens that reference 'Customer'. On each of the screen definitions pages I link to the Customer page. On the Customer page I would like to have a list of screen definition pages that link back to the Customer page.

I.e. A list of pages that link back to the current page (Customer) that have a specific tag (screen).

And if you do not link back, the relation is considered to weak for listing. If you refer back, it is worth listing. If you link back for another reason, it is a 'false positive'.. Nice to see how this can be used.

Does the syntax proposed above looks logic?
