I’ve been spending this past week working out a how I’d get Behold to reference back to the original link. This is needed so that the Multiple References (including MR Notes) and Sources can list where they are referenced from and have hyperlinks back to the references. I thought I’d need a new data structure for this so I made a few attempts to build one. But after seeing where it was going, I didn’t feel I was on the right track.

Just this morning, it struck me that I almost do what I want with the Place List that is mostly working already in Version 0.92. The Place List lists a place, and then shows every event and person for that event that happened in the place. The only things left to complete with that are to replace the Tag with the text for the tag and to change the link ID into the Person number with a hyperlink back to ther person.

So I will finish that off and extend the Place List reference structure to work for all back referals. That should work really well and look really good.
