An unlinked mention is a note that writes the current note’s title in its prose but never links to it. Myne can surface these so you can turn a passing mention into a real connection.
Finding mentions
Below the backlinks pane is an Unlinked mentions section, collapsed by default. It stays collapsed, and does no scanning, until you expand it, so it never slows down reading a note. Expand it (or refresh it) and Myne looks for other notes that mention this note’s title.
Matching is by whole words and is not case-sensitive, so “Project Apollo” mentioned mid-sentence is found, but a title buried inside a longer word is not. Very common or very short titles are held back from the list, so the section stays useful rather than flooding with noise.
Linking a mention
Each mention has a Link action that turns that occurrence into a proper wikilink, writing the link into the mentioning note for you. It edits through the normal save path, so it won’t overwrite unsaved changes in another open note; if there is nothing to change, the row simply stays put.
Once a mention is linked, it becomes a backlink and drops off the unlinked-mentions list.
Limits
Unlinked mentions are a suggestion surface, not an index: they are scanned on demand when you expand the section, not maintained continuously. They match on title text within the current vault.
