But what if I want to check where I've included this "@Feature" tag?

That's where backlinks come in. Here you can check all the notes with a certain inline tag.
November 25, 2024 at 4:59 AM
There will be no content in "@Feature". Its sole purpose is to serve as an inline tag.

In order to see all the inline tags, I added a page level tag "fn" to the note "@Feature"

This way I can:
1. See all my functional (hence the tag name) inline tags
2. Add new inline tags here
