Hey there,
within my backlink buffer, the backlinks are shown but in the form [[id:some-id][link title]] (see also attached screenshoot) which looks incorrect to me. Is there a way, to change this?
best regards,

Are you using Doom? There are a few issues about this. So far none of the “fixes” have solved it for me, though. Maybe you’ll have better luck: [Links displayed in literal form in org-roam buffers · Issue #2198 · org-roam/org-roam · GitHub](https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/issues/2198)
It bugs me enough that I’ve been using Denote for notes 🙂 at least until I can find a fix.

Thanks a lot, actually your tip was golden. 👍
For me, setting `(setq org-fold-core-style “overlays”)` as was suggested [here](https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/issues/2198#issuecomment-1208072780), solved it.
Maybe I was lucky, as I’m running vanilla emacs (org 9.6 and org-roam 2.2.2)
Anyhow, thanks again! 🙂

For people landing here from Google, there is a big caveat to the hack above:
> `(setq org-fold-core-style 'overlays)` works for displaying links correctly in org-roam buffers, but it prevents org-cycle from working correctly elsewhere in org-mode. This is odd because most references to problems with cycling claim that setting the style to “overlays” _fixes_ problems with cycling. In my case, specifically, closing (folding) headings works when hitting TAB, but then they will not open (unfold?) by TAB-ing again. So currently **I can either have nice links in Org-roam or proper cycling in Org files, but not both**.

You are right, I sadly can confirm, that ‘not unfolding again’ behavior is also true on my machine. Thanks for pointing it out!
