I’d like to request that References in Entities also be included in the Search results. This is closely related to the inclusion of references for non-Entity items like Views, Docs, Whiteboards in Fibery:

> Hi guys, I would love to see some evolution of Backlinks/Highlights to cover Views. We can reference views now, but the Views themselves do not pick up those via Highlights/References. Views I think are a an under developed, powerful part of Fibery that I’d like to see get more attention as first-class citizens. As there are quite a few former Notion users in here, and I think Fibery has great chance to grow with Notion converts, these users are likely going to look for the ability to create…

One particular use case is we use views as a way to represent sub-groups of Entities, in particular if we are using a single drop-down to tag certain Entities, then set up a view including only the Entities in that drop down. An example is we have many types of meetings - Stand Ups, Weekly Reviews, Sprint Demo, etc. So in order to see only those meetings among our Meeting Type, we use a drop-down single select and tag the groups of meetings according.

Now, in order to refer to my Stand Ups anywhere in Fibery, I will “#” the View that is a filtered table or board of the Meeting Type which has the drop down “Stand Up” selected.

What if I want to see when I mentioned in another entity something about Stand Ups? I could do this if the reference was indexed and I could search on that.

Thanks!
