org-sidebar-backlinks is not working as expected. Instead of showing Entry 2 as a backlink for Entry 1, the list of backlinks is empty for the following example:

* Entry 1
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: entry1
:END:

* Entry 2
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: entry2
:END:

[[#entry1]]

org-sidebar-backlinks searches org-directory by default. Probably you need a slightly modified function.

@konstruktiv Sorry for overlooking this. Erik is probably right, but you didn't give details about the file or buffer you're searching.

Anyway, this feature is somewhat primitive and inflexible as-written. If you really need backlinks, a package like org-roam would probably work better for you.

@egh Thanks!

@alphapapa Sorry I can't give more info as I moved to org-super-links which has working backlinks.

Anyway, thanks for org-sidebar. I hope I will have a chance to revisit the package some time.
