Two-directional arrows for links to here that are also linked from here

[catb0t]

Wthout having read the source, my guess is that the "Linked-arrow-direction-generator" function that serves to supply the icons in the "Linked" section uses a process of elimination: the function looks for links that are both in the "Linked" section and on this page, and considers "Linked" entries not on this page to be links-to-here.
If that is indeed the implementation, then this feature-request may or may not warrant a rewrite of that.

Question A links to question B. Question B links to question A. The Lemmings arrows in the "Linked" section for question A will likely show that question B is linked by here and similarly for question B, for the reasons noted in the previous paragraph.

This is, as I've just demonstrated, rather confusing. Could SOX use some form of black magic to detect this recursion and show both arrows in this case?

@catb0t your guess is completely right... so this would require a bit of a change, but not too much.. I could $.get() the page and look for the link to the current page.

So, yeah, I should be able to do this! :) (when we get the other issue sorted)

ok... this isn't going to be as easy as I thought it would... so, it'll happen, but not today :(

@catb0t I've added this now. Please can you install the latest DEV version and confirm it is working for you?

Also, any ideas on how it should look? It looks like this right now...

@enki-code ?^^

@shu8 Yeah! That'll work! 👍

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You guys need a big fat donate button...

@catb0t Just having you say things like that and using the script is enough for me. I really appreciate it.
