outgoing() in where clause with file.link as the source

[davecan]

Is it possible to construct a query like this?

list from ""
where contains(outgoing(file.link), this.file.link)

To return a list of all files that link to the current file.

I know this is possible in the from clause if the name of the note is explicitly provided, but I'm looking for something that doesn't require specifying the name of the note in every query. Plus I'm trying to build a slightly more complex query that merges results from a few sets and this is one of them.

I can implement this as a function until I properly implement the file.links.incoming and file.links.outgoing metadata fields.

Is there an issue open regarding file.links.incoming and file.links.outgoing?

Going to close this specific ticket since you can actually do this with the wonderful hack LIST FROM outgoing([[]]), and this specifically will be tackled as part of more general tickets for "arbitrary computation in the FROM block`.
