Currently, backlinks to other notes are only detected if wiki links are used: [[filename]] or [[filename|link text]]
Unfortunately, I upload my note to Github and where wiki links are not supported and I have a tendency to use standard markdown links [link text](filename.md) for notes to be usable on the web. However, doing this means backlinks are not detected.
Would it be possible to detect backlinks to files in the []() link format?
Thanks.

This might not be the best solution to the use case as an alternative way to put it could be: "Make wiki links work in Github / Markdown parsers". This might be outside the scope of the Memo project.
In general, it should be possible, although I think supporting backlinks is just a beginning and some other features would be good to have like links autocomplete (I believe supported already?), preview, update on rename, find by reference and so on. It sounds like enough work for the whole another extension 🙂. In many cases, I find wikilinks more compact, easier to read, and write than Markdown links, but as you mentioned so far wikilinks' portability is not the best. I wish Memo would support native links as good as wikilinks, but it would require significant time for me to implement them, so I hope more contributors could emerge, and this whole idea can be taken forward.
Here also some difference between them:
Wikilinks:
Absolute (relative to workspace) paths supported
Short paths supported
Files embedding
Easier to sync on rename
Backlinks
Find by reference
Preview on hover
Not supported by popular Markdown Viewers including GitHub
Markdown links:
Requires relative/absolute paths
File paths should be url encoded (raw space and other symbols are not allowed)
Thanks for Memo, it's really useful!
