I have a file with many headings (lets call it “[main.org](http://main.org)”) and I am creating links to these headings with org-store-link and org-insert-link.

When I have [main.org](http://main.org) open and bring up the org-roam buffer, it shows all backlinks that exist for the file, regardless of their heading.

I would prefer instead to view only backlinks for one heading at a time (for instance the heading where point is).

Is this possible?

It will be the default with V2. V1 is file- based; I don’t know if you can easily achieve what you are looking to do.

Certainly, thanks for the reply. I’ll try again when 2.0 is up and running.
